Plant Teachers
A trailblazing anthropologist and an indigenous Amazonian healer explore the convergence of science and shamanism “The dose makes the poison,” says an old adage, reminding us that substances have the potential to heal or to harm, depending on their use. Although Western medicine treats tobacco as a harmful addictive drug, it is considered medicinal by indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest. In its unadulterated form, it holds a central place in their repertoire of traditional medicines. Along with ayahuasca, tobacco forms a part of treatments designed to heal the body, stimulate the mind, and inspire the soul with visions. In Plant Teachers, anthropologist Jeremy Narby and traditional healer Rafael Chanchari Pizuri hold a cross-cultural dialogue that explores the similarities between ayahuasca and tobacco, the role of these plants in indigenous cultures, and the hidden truths they reveal about nature. Juxtaposing and synthesizing two worldviews, Plant Teachers invites readers on a wide-ranging journey through anthropology, botany, and biochemistry, while raising tantalizing questions about the relationship between science and other ways of knowing.
Introduction to Plant Cell Development
This textbook is about plant cells and the way in which their behaviour is regulated to suit the function which they fulfil in the plant. The purpose of the book is to emphasise the structural and spatial events which occur during the development of specialised plant cells. It is designed to fill the gap between descriptive anatomy books on the one hand and purely physiological books on the other. Its novelty is in its emphasis on the interaction between the structure of a plant cell and the way in which it performs its role in the plant. It is written in two parts, of four chapters each. The first part concentrates on cells as individuals, and presents a detailed account of their structure in various situations, together with descriptions of how such structures are achieved and function. The second part places these descriptions in the context of tissues, organs and whole plants.
Genomics, Functional, Evolutionary, and Ecological Perspectives on the Biology of Carnivorous Plants
Darwin was fascinated by the multitude of physiological and morphological adaptations of carnivorous plants, and consequently referred to them as “the most wonderful plants in the world”. The carnivorous behavior evolved independently at least six times in five angiosperm orders in plants that live in barren, nutrient deficient environments. Carnivorous plants capture insects to get access to the nitrogen and phosphorus contained in their bodies. Their leaves are specialized to perform multiple functions; secrete attractive scents, capture insects, secret extracellular digestive enzymes, absorb nutrients, photosynthesize, and develop symbioses. Despite their independent origins, there is...
