“据说石块曾经自己转动,树木曾经开口说话;鸦鹊的鸣声里曾经泄露过阴谋作乱的人。”麦克白这样说的时候,猜疑、混乱与恐惧充斥胸间。在树木默无声息这一定则下,莎士比亚不禁营造出了草木皆兵的晦暗效果。 当然我们没有要谈莎士比亚,而是那些作为背景的树木。 ...
评分 评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...
评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!!!...

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.
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. 还成吧 基础生物知识
评分生物知识还停留在高中,作为一本科普读物,读起来还不算费劲,好懂,写的还蛮有意思的。虽然以拟人的方式介绍植物see, smell,touch,etc. 但是还是特地在结尾强调了一下,植物并不能真正的像人那样感知世界,我们的存在也只是外部世界对它造成压力等影响的一部分。
评分对于贯穿全书的唯机械论解释还是报怀疑态度,不过基本演绎法还是亮
评分就这么学术的小册子而言,算挺通俗好看的,文笔不错。介绍了植物生理学的知识,回顾了一些重要实验,传达出人文关怀。希望中文翻译别毁了它。ps作者是邓兴旺的学生。以及达尔文好厉害……
评分简单的科普小书,英文版正文部分只有130多页,很容易读完。植物真是安静,聪明,又可爱的生物啊!
