Are plants intelligent? Can they solve problems, communicate, and navigate their surroundings? In this book, a leading scientist argues that plants process information, sleep, remember, and signal to one another-showing that, far from passive machines, plants are intelligent and aware. In Brilliant Green, 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, Brilliant Green is an engaging and passionate examination of the inner workings of the plant kingdom.
