The Secret Life of Plants

Summary: A classic on Plants Emotional, and Telepathic Life
Review:
Is a plant a material thing, or an intelligent, conscious being?

The thesis on this book is based on the scientific fact that plants are living, breathing, communicating creatures, endowed with personality, and the attributes of a Soul.

It is evident many people have not accepted the precise data in this book, facts that demonstrate the vegetable kingdom is able to remember and react according to the presence of a friend, or a foe; feel pleasure and pain, love or even fear.

According to experiments made in the USA, and in Russia during the 1970s plants adapt to human wishes, respond to music, telepathically communicate with people, and with other plants. Its been also verified space is not barrier for the telepathic communication between people and plants (It will be eventually discovered that time is not a barrier for communication either)

Last week I was reading this book at a swimming pool, which is beautifully enclosed by palm trees. Telepathically I told to the palm trees I was grateful for their shade and their presence there. What did those palms answer me? "We will always protect you, life cannot be destroyed because life is Love". How can a plant, apparently so primitive, understand that kind of things?

In 1980s I had a small disagreement with some noisy neighbors. The plants located between the two homes, while in meditation, told me, "we don't like it, the disagreement between the two families, the whole thing bother us" Of course even in those years I understood plants were conscious. Fortunately the noisy ones moved out in less than a year.

In the last 32 years many people have understood the importance of plant life, the vegetable kingdom and its correlation with man, and with other plants. Yet there is apathy in accepting the irrefutable need for mind-reading type of communication with plants. Plants, like cetaceans, possess a level of mental communication much more advanced than originally believed.

Summary: This Book is Pseudoscience at its Worst
Review: A breathless, credulous, vast and poorly informed excitement fills this book. Its approach to fantastic claims of vegetable sympathy is non-critical in the extreme. I would recommend this book to people who wish to enjoy fantasies and dreams, because the authors share a certain sympathy with their subjects. The actually verified secret life of plants, however, is interesting beyond description, and deserves a more truthful and honest exploration.

Summary: Totally BORING
Review: After reading this book (which took a LOT of effort), I couldn't help but wonder WHO the authors' target audience was. It couldn't possibly be the average reader, since it was jumbled, unclear, lost in technical detail and very poorly put together. I struggled to finish it, and most of it is now a blur. Perhaps a scientist might like it, but even a plant lover would find it dull.

Summary: Essential to the herbalist
Review: As a chartered herbalist, I found a wealth of information in this book. I know what effect different plants constituents produce in the human body and was looking for something to teach me what affects the plants that heal us. How could I help my plants to develop to their maximum potential so they would produce herbal products of the finest quality and potency. To gain an understanding of how we can work with plants for our own health and healing as I believe it is a joint venture. Although I don't take any information as gospel I believe the information in this book gives me the tools to test the theories myself and draw my own conclusions. Fascinating to learn what I have always suspected - care for the soil, the plants and they will care for you

Summary: The Secert Life of Plants
Review: I acquired this book in the early seventies, when I was a young man. Mr. Tompkins and Mr. Bird did an excellent job with a difficult subject of plant life and the science of Botany by making it romantic and interesting. Over the years, I have added thousands of books to my library, moving numerous times and even married a librarian. But I have always known which shelve in my library this volume could be found. My copy is like an old friend.

Summary: Gives the reader a new aproach of interaction with nature
Review: I first read this book in collegue. Many years ago, and served me to finish my BS in Integrated pest management. The author ( gatherer) of information gives a ample scope of scientifc data, that for many reason has not been applied in pactical forms in order to provide a good to humankind and the universal environment.

Summary: I FEEL THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK IS VITAL TO THE WORLD.
Review: I HAVE READ THIS BOOK SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER READING THE FIRST TIME I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE AUTHOR WHO GATHERED THE INFORMATION. I FELT THAT HIS OPINION WERE NOT RELATED IN THIS BOOK, THEREFORE HE WAS ABLE TO ENTER MUCH INFORMATION. THANK YOU - THIS WILL HELP WITH MY OWN RESEARCH.

Summary: Reintroducing a subject the modern world has lost touch of
Review: I read most of this book in my library a few years ago an am now buying it to read it again after hearing the author's wife (Shabari Bird) on Art Bell's radio program. If you appreciate this book you will also appreciate "Kinship With All Life" by J. Allen Boone. It deals with many of the same themes but with animals as the subject.
