Customer Reviews

already half way through5
i ordered this book and a dvd at the same time elsewhere, and im already halfway through the book and the dvd has yet to be opened. thanks!

Biology 101 for the 21st Century5
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.

Another seminal work5
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).
