就这么学术的小册子而言,算挺通俗好看的,文笔不错。介绍了植物生理学的知识,回顾了一些重要实验,传达出人文关怀。希望中文翻译别毁了它。ps作者是邓兴旺的学生。以及达尔文好厉害……
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
评分Touch the leaves of an oak, knowing that the tree will remember it was touched. But it won’t remember you. You, on the other hand, can remember this particular tree and carry the memory of it with you forever. 还成吧 基础生物知识

Daniel Chamovitz, PhD, is the director of the Manna Center for Plant Biosciences at Tel Aviv University. His research has appeared in leading scientific journals. He lives in Hod Hasharon, Israel.
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.
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,...
评分问题一: <原文开始>“受细菌侵害的叶子会释放一种叫做水杨酸甲酯的气体;被害虫摄食的叶子就不会释放这种气体,但会产生另 一种叫茉莉酸甲酯的气体”。</原文结束> 后文中作者提到,水杨酸是阿司匹林的化学前体,而溶于水的水杨酸可转化为水杨酸甲酯。水杨酸甲酯用作人类身...
评分最近在看一本关于植物的书,《植物知道生命的答案》,因为觉得看了之后自己会变成很有知识的人,所以耐着性子在一堆一堆陌生的术语中坚持着。但是像我这样重度文艺化的人已经很难跟上这样的轻科学作品了,于是看着看着点就跑歪了。 这本书是一个美国的学者写的,之所以是学者...
评分撕开后发现它和书皮是一体的,也就是说,这个看起来是腰封的东西竟然是书皮的一部分!!! 向外翻折了一下而已。。。。。TAT 撕坏以后展开神奇地发现书皮里面有画,是设计成两面都可以用的——正反两穿! 不管它的设计使了多少心眼儿书都已经被撕坏。。 后来人务必小心!!!...
评分前些日子,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...
