There are times when you really have that Aha moment and say “OK. I didn’t know anything until now. I thought I did<\/i>.”\u00a0One such moment was when I read the book Alice in the Land of Plants<\/strong><\/a> by Yiannis Manetas<\/a> from the University of Crete Press<\/a> and Springer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yiannis Manetas<\/a> is an experienced plant physiologist (University of Patras, Greece<\/a>). He draws attention to the fascinating and complex world of plant biology. In an effort to reach a wide audience, the author writes in a more general style, with minimal specialized jargon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like plants, flowers, nature, you should read the book! You will discover incredible information and details about plants. If you respect them once, after reading you will respect them a thousand times!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How this book came to my hands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The book Alice in the Land of Plants came into my hands by a coincidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My wife (no relation with the garden) told to a friend of hers, owner of a bookstore that I maintain KALLIERGO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told her that he is now reading a very good book on plants that has captivated him. He suggested she buy it and donate it to me, which she did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I brought you this,” he said, “but I don’t know if you’ll like it. I find it boring because it’s densely written and because there are no pictures<\/i>,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How wrong she was!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only the first day I read 80 pages. That’s how fascinating I found this book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will we learn from reading the book Alice in the Land of Plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About plants is the obvious answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what makes the difference is the way he does it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yiannis Manetas takes you by the hand as if you were a small child and shows you the world of plants without bogging you down with unnecessary details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have grown up and been educated reading English and American literature because I consider it the best and most unbiased literature there is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were times when I would forget myself and think I was reading a foreign book translated into Greek. In fact the opposite has happened. The book has also been translated into English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speech reminded me of Carl Sagan in Cosmos. Where he could make the difficult, simple and easy to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explains the mechanisms that make plants, although they don’t move, the living creatures that have survived every catastrophe, unlike animals that have suffered giant-scale extinctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It explains how plants work and process the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It explains why plants are responsible for the world as we know it today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illuminates the “senses” of plants, the way they perceive the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It talks about the defense mechanisms of plants. The ones that have helped them to exist for billions of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so much more in the 392 pages of the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plants are super heroes and complex chemical factories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the first few pages of reading the book, the way you see plants will change.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won’t pass them by without much thought. You will stand and admire them. From the herbaceous plants to the largest trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will begin to understand how many wondrous things happen in and around each plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will begin to understand about soil, symbiosis, fallowing, infestations, diseases, fungi, bacteria, fruits, flowers, insects, environment, animals, atmosphere, humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
