Book (Paperback) - The Light Eaters

To live and thrive while rooted in a single place, plants have adapted ingenious methods of survival. Recently, scientists have learned about their ability to communicate, to recognize their kin and behave socially, to hear sounds, to morph their bodies to blend into their surroundings, to store memories that inform their life cycle, and even to trick animals into behaving to their benefit. The Light Eaters is a deep immersion into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild world that challenges our very understanding of agency, consciousness, and intelligence.
