Acest document ne introduce in lumea fascinanta a plantelor. Oamenii de stiinta si specialistii din domeniu dezvaluie abilitati si trucuri de care se folosesc plantele pentru a supravietui: detectarea pericolelor dupa miros sau prin atingere, atragerea hranei sau chiar controlul comportamentului unor insecte. Este cazul plantei acacia, care a dezvoltat o relatie mutuala cu o specie de furnici. Planta ofera hrana si adapost, iar furnicile o apara de vizitatorii nepoftiti. Expertii investigheaza, de asemenea, modul in care interventia omului afecteaza plantele, dar si cum tehnologiile dezvoltate ar putea schimba viitorul agriculurii.
James Alfred "Alf" Wight, OBE, FRCVS (3 October 1916 – 23 February 1995), known by the pen name James Herriot, was a British veterinary surgeon and writer, who used his many years of experiences as a veterinary surgeon to write a series of books each consisting of stories about animals and their owners.[1] He is best known for these semi-autobiographical works, beginning with All Creatures Great and Small in 1972. The British television series adapted from the books is also titled All Creatures Great and Small.
