很有科普性,很像一篇论文,虽然作者自己说“beyond academic research and writing"。植物就像其他生物一样,很有意思。但是我的生物知识太差啦!
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
评分生物知识还停留在高中,作为一本科普读物,读起来还不算费劲,好懂,写的还蛮有意思的。虽然以拟人的方式介绍植物see, smell,touch,etc. 但是还是特地在结尾强调了一下,植物并不能真正的像人那样感知世界,我们的存在也只是外部世界对它造成压力等影响的一部分。
评分睡前读物
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
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.
说到“植物”你会想到什么呢?是爷爷奶奶养的盆花?还是每天盘中的小菜?是每天路过的街边树木?还是花店中的琳琅满目?或者仅仅只是一片片美好的绿色? 我想到的是“神秘”这个词。可能是因为看了太多神鬼妖魔之类的书和电影,植物的世界对于我来说好似一个只见...
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...
评分我记得豆瓣上曾经有一个很好玩的帖子,内容只有两句话: 向日葵白天跟着太阳转,从东边到西边,那晚上干什么呢? 而且太阳下山时它头在西边,第二天早上怎么回到东边去?一个甩~~~头吗??? 迅速脑补后,大家纷纷被戳中笑点,当然也有观众认真去解答了这个问题。向日葵当...
评分虽然本书探讨五感,中文译名也有点接近一本畅销书《水知道答案》,但该书作者并没有超越科学的范畴。虽然现代科学显然已经证明:“类似在人类身上表现出来的心智的某些特性,在植物中间也普遍存在。”但作者并没有对植物的五感进行过分“拟人化”,更没有妖魔化,他很明确...
