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.
Daniel Chamovitz, PhD, is the director of the Manna Center for Plant Biosciences at Tel Aviv University. His research has appeared in leading scientific journals. He lives in Hod Hasharon, Israel.
作者行文很規矩,但還挺有趣~
評分對於貫穿全書的唯機械論解釋還是報懷疑態度,不過基本演繹法還是亮
評分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
評分很受歡迎的一本植物科普小書,,2013年引進,到今天已重印瞭十多次。
評分就這麼學術的小冊子而言,算挺通俗好看的,文筆不錯。介紹瞭植物生理學的知識,迴顧瞭一些重要實驗,傳達齣人文關懷。希望中文翻譯彆毀瞭它。ps作者是鄧興旺的學生。以及達爾文好厲害……
虽然本书探讨五感,中文译名也有点接近一本畅销书《水知道答案》,但该书作者并没有超越科学的范畴。虽然现代科学显然已经证明:“类似在人类身上表现出来的心智的某些特性,在植物中间也普遍存在。”但作者并没有对植物的五感进行过分“拟人化”,更没有妖魔化,他很明确...
評分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...
評分植物知道生命的答案,学术性的知识,易读的措辞让我很容易填补各种自己生物知识空白区。每次看到植物,都满心雀跃,嘴角上扬。植物在我内心最具有正能量,触碰它们你会感到那种淡然的心境。 植物能看到什么?植物能嗅到什么?植物能感受到什么?植物能听到什么?植物如何知道...
評分最近在看一本关于植物的书,《植物知道生命的答案》,因为觉得看了之后自己会变成很有知识的人,所以耐着性子在一堆一堆陌生的术语中坚持着。但是像我这样重度文艺化的人已经很难跟上这样的轻科学作品了,于是看着看着点就跑歪了。 这本书是一个美国的学者写的,之所以是学者...
評分撕开后发现它和书皮是一体的,也就是说,这个看起来是腰封的东西竟然是书皮的一部分!!! 向外翻折了一下而已。。。。。TAT 撕坏以后展开神奇地发现书皮里面有画,是设计成两面都可以用的——正反两穿! 不管它的设计使了多少心眼儿书都已经被撕坏。。 后来人务必小心!!!...
