Authors Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird reveal why the most pivotal revolution of the twenty-first century-one that could save or destroy the planet-may begin at the bottom of your garden. The Secret Life of Plants invokes the latest scientific discoveries to rewrite our understanding of plants and the natural world, offering insights about the unforeseen reach of sentience among plants, their ability to communicate and adapt, and their function as ecological sentinels.
