How does a Venus flytrap know when to snap shut? Can it feel an insect’s spindly legs? How do flowers know when it’s spring? Can they actually remember the weather? And do they care if you play them Led Zeppelin or Bach?
From Darwin’s early fascination with stems and vines to Little Shop of Horrors, we have always marveled at plant diversity and form. Now, in What a Plant Knows, the renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz presents an intriguing and refreshing look at how plants experience the world. Highlighting the latest research in plant science, he takes us into the lives of different types of plants, and draws parallels with the human senses to reveal that we have much more in common with sunflowers and oak trees than we may realize. He explains how a willow knows when its neighbors have been taken over by a group of hungry beetles, and why an avocado will ripen in a paper bag with a banana (it’s the pheromones). He shows how plants know up from down, and settles the debate, once and for all, over whether or not plants appreciate that music you’ve been playing. Covering touch, sound, smell, sight, and even memory, Chamovitz considers whether it’s too much to ask if plants are aware.
What a Plant Knows is a rare inside look at what life is really like for the grass we walk on, the flowers we sniff, and the trees we climb. It is a true field guide to the senses for science buffs and green thumbs, and for anyone who seeks a greater understanding of our place in nature.

讀後感
刚在豆瓣上看到此书的推广的时候就勾起了我满满的阅读渴望。因个人的不小心，书在几经周折后才送到手上。打心底感谢某人啊！ 看到书的那刻顿觉这绿色的封面也是那么的喜洋洋！ 地球之大，植物之多，所以关于植物的了解也只是寥寥无几。因为植物随处可见，随手可得，当然稀有...
評分万物皆有灵 杜甫有诗云：感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊心。 植物的世界不是沉默的世界：植物会看、会闻、会触摸、有记忆、能定位。 如果，人类、动物和植物具有相似的本领，都能对复杂的光环境、错综的气味、多样的物理剌 激产生反应；人类、动物和植物都具有偏好性，都有记忆的话。 我...

評分白天忙碌奔波了一天，心情烦躁，晚上打开这本装帧精美的小书，慢慢看去，感觉心情宁静了很多。 虽然少亲近植物，但是一直喜欢植物，喜欢植物旺盛的生命力，喜欢植物挺拔安静的姿态，或许也是因为有那么多关于植物的诗句让人诵读，三毛的那首诗：“如果有来生，要做一棵树，站成...

睡前讀物
评分很有意思的植物學科普讀物
评分生物知識還停留在高中，作為一本科普讀物，讀起來還不算費勁，好懂，寫的還蠻有意思的。雖然以擬人的方式介紹植物see， smell，touch，etc. 但是還是特地在結尾強調瞭一下，植物並不能真正的像人那樣感知世界，我們的存在也隻是外部世界對它造成壓力等影響的一部分。
评分Touch the leaves of an oak, knowing that the tree will remember it was touched. But it won’t remember you. You, on the other hand, can remember this particular tree and carry the memory of it with you forever. 還成吧 基礎生物知識
