Exploring the world of plants and its relation to mankind as revealed by the latest discoveries of scientists. The Secret Life of Plants includes remarkable information about plants as lie detectors and plants as ecological sentinels; it describes their ability to adapt to human wishes, their response to music, their curative powers, and their ability to communicate with man.

"If I can't 'get inside a plant' or feel emanations' from a plant and don't know anyone else who can, that doesn't detract one whit from the possibility that some people can and do... According to The Secret Life of Plants, plants and men do interrelate, with plant, exhibiting empathetic and spiritual relationships and showing reaction interpreted as demonstrating physicalforce connections with men. As my students say, 'hey, wow!'"
--Richard M. Klein, Professor of Botany,
University of Vermont (in Smithsonian)
