The nation of plants
(Book)

Originally published in Italian as La nazione delle piante in 2019 by Editori Laterza, Rome.

Includes bibliographical references.

From the moment of their arrival, about 300,000 years ago, humans have succeeded in changing the conditions of the planet so drastically as to make it a dangerous place for their own survival. The causes of this reckless behavior are in part inherent in their predatory nature, but they also depend on our total incomprehension of the rules that govern the existence of a community of living beings. Mancuso presents the eight fundamental pillars on which the life of plants-- and by extension humans-- rests. -- adapted from jacket
