Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Plant Humanities moves plants to the center of critical inquiry, positioning them as biocultural entities with distinct environmental and social histories that have profoundly shaped human cultures. Its thirteen chapters cover a broad geographical range, including the Americas, Europe, the Pacific, the Indian subcontinent, East Asia, and Africa, to explore the dual character of plants as place makers and world travelers.

Bringing aesthetic depictions of plant life into conversation with philosophical, cultural, literary and scientific thinking, it looks to return our attention to vegetal life, and to challenge traditional assumptions regarding plant intelligence, agency and communication.…
