The Secret Life of Plants
We have had an older edition of this book for many years and read it so often that it fell apart!!!! And so we bought a new one. That in itself should be recommendation enough. It's a fascinating book!! Alas not for vegetarians, because they would feel like going back to eating meat!!

This book should be part of every Biology class in school nowadays. Quantum Physics has proven that every particle has consciousness, so why should it be so hard to believe that plants are capable of feelings and thought? Even close to 20 years after it was published, the book is still in a class by itself. I especially liked the section on how plants responded to different music genres, although mine seem to grow better to reggae than classical music.

Along with Secrets of the Soil by the same authors, a ground-breaking work that will make you rethink your entire view of the universe. Decades ahead of the scientific establishment (and I should know; I'm part of it).
