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. <p/>In <i>Brilliant Green</i>, 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, <i>Brilliant Green</i> is an engaging and passionate examination of the inner workings of the plant kingdom. <p/> Financial support for the translation of this book has been provided by SEPS: Segretariato Europeo Per Le Pubblicazioni Scientifiche. <br>
