How does a Venus flytrap know when to snap shut? Can it feel an insect’s spindly legs? How do flowers know when it’s spring? Can they actually remember the weather? And do they care if you play them Led Zeppelin or Bach?
From Darwin’s early fascination with stems and vines to Little Shop of Horrors, we have always marveled at plant diversity and form. Now, in What a Plant Knows, the renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz presents an intriguing and refreshing look at how plants experience the world. Highlighting the latest research in plant science, he takes us into the lives of different types of plants, and draws parallels with the human senses to reveal that we have much more in common with sunflowers and oak trees than we may realize. He explains how a willow knows when its neighbors have been taken over by a group of hungry beetles, and why an avocado will ripen in a paper bag with a banana (it’s the pheromones). He shows how plants know up from down, and settles the debate, once and for all, over whether or not plants appreciate that music you’ve been playing. Covering touch, sound, smell, sight, and even memory, Chamovitz considers whether it’s too much to ask if plants are aware.
What a Plant Knows is a rare inside look at what life is really like for the grass we walk on, the flowers we sniff, and the trees we climb. It is a true field guide to the senses for science buffs and green thumbs, and for anyone who seeks a greater understanding of our place in nature.

读后感
前些日子，有朋友送了一箱水果给我们，其中有一颗黄橙橙的柚子。小娃儿极其喜欢，虽然吃力、却依然抱着柚子四处转悠，说：“爸爸，妈妈，你们闻闻柚子香不香啊？”等我们给予肯定的答案后，他还要强调一句：“这是水果的香味。” 其实，植物的香味中，我最爱的是花香。一直以来...
评分万物皆有灵 杜甫有诗云：感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊心。 植物的世界不是沉默的世界：植物会看、会闻、会触摸、有记忆、能定位。 如果，人类、动物和植物具有相似的本领，都能对复杂的光环境、错综的气味、多样的物理剌 激产生反应；人类、动物和植物都具有偏好性，都有记忆的话。 我...

评分在地球上产生的植物与动物在20亿万年前的演化分路，但是有很多共同的基因在。比如植物能看得见蓝光红光，植物知道你在靠近它。这本书让我了解到很多不知道的植物知识，比从细胞壁、根、茎讲起的知识要有意思很多。从遗传学的角度以及实验的结果上讲的，很浅显易懂，把科学知识...
评分拿到书后，被封面的绿意深深吸引。翻开扉页，植物图腾的纹案映入眼帘，突显的书名，就如那些纹案一样富有生机。浓浓的油墨味有些冲鼻，仿佛闻到了某种植物为了保护自己散发的气味。书的封套很有趣，摊开来看，是彩色的植物和昆虫图案，孤陋寡闻的我只认识蜻蜓和蝴蝶，...

评分对于贯穿全书的唯机械论解释还是报怀疑态度，不过基本演绎法还是亮
