Eso No Estaba En Mi Libro de Botánica - Paperback

by Rosa Caridad Porcel Roldan (Author)

What species is really hiding behind most of the cinnamon we consume? Did you know that the Antarctic carnation is capable of withstanding temperatures below fifty degrees Celsius or that some mosses are found in volcanoes with temperatures above sixty? Or even that, behind the ephemeral beauty of some flowers, whose sizes, colors and smells have played a key role in their evolution, lies a whole language of communication and survival mechanisms?... Welcome to the secret world of plants. Plants have been on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. What do they eat? What they feel? How do they live? Discover on the pages of this book, the exciting mechanisms that have allowed them to evolve and how they have influenced both History and Culture.
