@bookstodon A completely fascinating look at those creatures we new-kids-on-the-block humans wouldn't and couldn't even exist without - plants.
The author, a journalist, spoke to a number of plant scientists, visited their labs, and went out into the field with them. She learns and shares what they have discovered about particular plants, and explores the questions and ideas those findings turn up. Zoë Schlanger's enthusiasm and curiosity are catching and it's easy to lose yourself in the world of plants.
As for the plants themselves, it's amazing what observation and research is uncovering about all their different stories, and humbling to realize how much we don't know. Highly recommended.
