The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird
$20.00
Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird explore unusual ideas about plants and their relationships with people, including reported responses to music, emotion and electrical stimuli. Blending accounts of experiments with history and metaphysical speculation, this influential 1970s book presents controversial claims about plant perception rather than an established scientific account.
