What are the systems of interdependency that bind all living creatures together? Plants were among the the first to colonize the planet. They created the soil and the atmosphere that made life possible for animals. They are some of the largest and oldest life forms on Earth. In spite of their primacy, Western cultures have traditionally regarded plants as the lowest life forms, lacking mobility, sensation, and communication. But recent research argues that plants move and respond to their environment, communicate with each other, and form partnerships with other species. Art, poetry, and essays by cultural anthropologists, experimental plant biologists, philosophers, botanists and foresters expose the complex interactions of the vibrant living world around us and give us a lens through which we can explore our intertwined histories.Calgary Institute for the Humanities series ;Number 3.PlantsHistoryPlantsSocial aspectsPlants in artWilliam Pearce.bison.cultural geography.flora and fauna.forest aerial.native grass.nature walk.plant behavior.plant disease.plant learning.plant photography.plant sensitivity.rural ecology.soil.urban ecology.urban forest.urban parks.vegetal beings.PlantsHistory.PlantsSocial aspects.Plants in art.580Ellis Jim1964-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910527382903321Intertwined histories2646042UNINA
