These are some of the questions the author discusses to demonstrate that plants are wrongly considered to be simple organisms lacking specific behaviour and intelligence. This book promises to be as pleasant a surprise as Alice¿s experience in the white rabbit¿s warren, in which she encountered a world very different from ours.
The author explains the biology of plants following Einstein's maxim that everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
