Opening your Mind to New Perspectives

Every now and again a book comes across your path which changes your worldview forever. Someone recommended the following book to me called, Brilliant Green: The Surprising History and Science of Plant Intelligence by Stefano Mancuso and Alessandra Viola. This book has revolutionised my thinking on the plant world. Human and animal life makes up less than 0.3% of the biomass on earth so as the authors say we are no more than a trace element on earth. 

While humans have 5 main senses plants have those 5 and 15 more.

This is a must read book if you want an insight into the world of plants and the way they have evolved to fit in with the environment.
