Thus Spoke the Plant: A Remarkable Journey of Groundbreaking Scientific Discoveries and Personal Encounters with Plants Audiobook (Free)

An accessible and compelling story of the scientist’s discovery of plant communication and how it influenced her analysis and changed her life.

With this ‘phytobiography’–a collection of tales written together with a plant–research scientist Monica Gagliano reveals the dynamic role plants enjoy in genuine first-hand accounts from her study into seed communication and cognition. By transcending the view of plant life as the objects of medical materialism, Gagliano motivates us to about Thus Spoke the Plant: AN EXTRAORDINARY Journey of Groundbreaking Scientific Discoveries and Personal Encounters with Plants rethink plants as people–beings with subjectivity, consciousness, and volition, and therefore having the capacity for their own perspectives and voices. The reserve draws on up-close-and-personal encounters using the vegetation themselves, as well as seed shamans, indigenous elders, and mystics from all over the world and integrates these encounters with an incredible research journey as well as the groundbreaking medical discoveries that emerged from it. Gagliano offers published numerous peer-reviewed medical papers on what plants have a Pavlov-like response to stimuli and can learn, remember, and communicate to neighboring plant life. She’s pioneered the brand-new research field of plant bioacoustics, for the very first time experimentally demonstrating that plants emit their own ‘voices’ and, moreover, detect and react to the noises of their conditions. By demonstrating experimentally that learning isn’t the distinctive province of pets, Gagliano offers re-ignited the discourse on herb subjectivity and ethical and legal position. This is the story of how she produced those discoveries and how the vegetation helped her along the way.
