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
本来看了第一篇文章，觉得会是很枯燥的学术书，没想到从第二篇开始，通过各种科学实验和植物奇妙的对外界的感觉，使整本书越来越有趣。也了解到科学家是怎样做实验一步步得出科学结论的。 比如其中关于植物“嗅觉”的一篇，科学家首先找到了菟比子，五角菟丝子没有叶片（叶绿...
评分说到“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！！！...
评分刚在豆瓣上看到此书的推广的时候就勾起了我满满的阅读渴望。因个人的不小心，书在几经周折后才送到手上。打心底感谢某人啊！ 看到书的那刻顿觉这绿色的封面也是那么的喜洋洋！ 地球之大，植物之多，所以关于植物的了解也只是寥寥无几。因为植物随处可见，随手可得，当然稀有...

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
评分娓娓道来
评分刚开始觉得说植物能看，能听太夸张了些，看到后记作者很认真的在解释这些概念的含义，最后也释然了。总体来说，论证逻辑清晰，英文原版也算通俗易懂。作者还有Coursera，算是个小惊喜。
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
评分睡前读物
