About this listen

Explore the inner world of plants and its fascinating relation to mankind, as uncovered by the latest discoveries of science. A perennial best seller!

In this truly revolutionary and beloved work, drawn from remarkable research, Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird cast light on the rich psychic universe of plants. Now available in a new edition, The Secret Life of Plants explores plants' response to human care and nurturing, their ability to communicate with man, plants' surprising reaction to music, their lie-detection abilities, their creative powers, and much more.

Tompkins and Bird's classic book affirms the depth of humanity's relationship with nature and adds special urgency to the cause of protecting the environment that nourishes us.

Pure magic.

This is a rare book, showing how the human intellect is indeed limited to the physical world, and only if we opened our awareness to the invisible, that we may grasp the magic of all creation and beyond.

Pseudo Science

This book is more of faith and belief then science. if you've ever dropped acid then you'll probably vibe with it a little. Not a very scientific based read as hoped.
