Jeff Wrangler:
At lunch today I finished the Dec. 23-30, 2013, article about "plant neurobiology," so called. I found it very interesting. It makes me want to read The Secret Life of Plants, even if that book has been discredited.
Has anyone read The Secret Life of Plants?
Oh, yes, I also recommend Roz Chast's "Nondenominational Carols." ;D
Front-Ranger:
I've read parts of it. I didn't know it had been discredited. I'm still reading that issue and there are three articles I'm especially interested in:
Elizabeth Kolbert's The Lost World, Part Two
Emily Eakin's The Civilization Kit (I've finished this one)
Michael Pollan's The Intelligent Plant
I wonder if they set out to do an environmental issue or it just happened that way!
serious crayons:
I haven't read The Secret Life of Plants, but now I'm curious about how it has been discredited.
I did read Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World and it is excellent.
I'm in the middle of a duty article about drug trafficking on the Mosquito Coast. It's sad and horrifying.

I just started that one. The whole subject sounds depressing. :(
