Are plants intelligent? Can they solve problems, communicate, and navigate their surroundings? For centuries, philosophers and scientists have argued that plants are unthinking and inert, yet discoveries over the past fifty years have challenged this idea, shedding new light on the complex interior lives of plants. In Brilliant Green, leading scientist Stefano Mancuso presents a new paradigm in our understanding of the vegetal world. He argues that plants process information, sleep, remember, and signal to one another-showing that, far from passive machines, plants are intelligent and aware. Part botany lesson, part manifesto, Brilliant Green is an engaging and passionate examination of the inner workings of the plant kingdom.--$cSource other than Library of Congress. 606 $aPlants$xHistory 606 $aPlants$xAnalysis$vForms 615 0$aPlants$xHistory. 615 0$aPlants$xAnalysis 676 $a580 700 $aMancuso$b Stefano$0290903 702 $aViola$b Alessandra 702 $aBenham$b Joan 702 $aPollan$b Michael 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824785603321 996 $aBrilliant green$94051220 997 $aUNINA
