A work that collects all the complexity, beauty and mystery that characterize the unknown world of plants. “It has become a vegetable,” we usually say to refer to an inert being lacking any capacity to interact with the outside world. Nothing could be further from the truth, although some see plants as simple passive and insensitive materials that decorate parks and gardens, the truth is that the plant world could not be more complex, dynamic and sensitive. Plants are continually interacting with a changing environment, they have a gigantic diversity of behaviors, and they have developed the most surprising adaptations, which have allowed them to colonize all the ecosystems on this planet.

Through the pages of this book we will discover the complex plant universe, because although it is not true that plants are moved by classical music, they do not feel pain or empathy and in many aspects they have little to do with experiences and feelings. Humans, make up a group of extraordinary beings that observe and communicate, capable of remembering events, deceiving, defending themselves from their predators, adapting to the most extreme environmental conditions, associating with all types of organisms, hunting animals and taking advantage, like the most seasoned. journal, of its peers.
