"What a Plant Knows"
By Daniel Chamovitz (Scientific American/Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 179 pages, $23): Understanding what life is like for a plant goes a long way toward understanding how to make it happy. In this short, highly readable book, Chamovitz compares what plants do and why they do it with how we respond to the stimuli from our own senses. He never anthropomorphizes plants, but by relating them to our own experience, he greatly illuminates how they work. A lively, accessible and enlightening read.
