VG+ PB. Perennial, 2002.
This reprint of the 1973 book explores plant sentience, communication, and their relationship with humans, citing experiments on plant reactions to music, lie detection, and emotional responses, though it was heavily criticized by the scientific community for promoting pseudoscience. The book popularized ideas about plants having a rich psychic life, responding to human care, and acting as "ecological sentinels," influencing environmentalism and alternative farming methods.
