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. 410 0$aCalgary Institute for the Humanities series ;$vNumber 3. 606 $aPlants$xHistory 606 $aPlants$xSocial aspects 606 $aPlants in art 610 $aWilliam Pearce. 610 $abison. 610 $acultural geography. 610 $aflora and fauna. 610 $aforest aerial. 610 $anative grass. 610 $anature walk. 610 $aplant behavior. 610 $aplant disease. 610 $aplant learning. 610 $aplant photography. 610 $aplant sensitivity. 610 $arural ecology. 610 $asoil. 610 $aurban ecology. 610 $aurban forest. 610 $aurban parks. 610 $avegetal beings. 615 0$aPlants$xHistory. 615 0$aPlants$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPlants in art. 676 $a580 702 $aEllis$b Jim$f1964- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910527382903321 996 $aIntertwined histories$92646042 997 $aUNINA
