This is our Green Planet- a hidden world where plants care for other plants and can smell, taste, touch, hear and even . . . ' talk' . Earth is dominated by plants, which outweigh all other life - from tiny duckweed floating in our ponds to giant sequoia trees towering above us. It' s easy to take plants for granted, but we depend on these light-eaters, oxygen-generators, and rain-makers for every breath of air and mouthful of food we take. But that' s not all. In the world of plants, time passes more slowly, but if we speed months into minutes we can peer into this hidden world and realise- it' s a battleground. Plants are working to thwart their enemies, and to trick animals into working for them. Right under your feet, and all around you, is a secret world you' ve probably never noticed. Until now. Let' s explore our Green Planet- a secret world of plants that might change how you see plants forever . . . Discover all there is to love about our astonishing Green Planet, the stories of its inhabitants, and the challenges it faces. In collaboration with BBC Earth, this illustrated non-fiction book captures the intrigue, drama, and beauty of the groundbreaking new BBC TV series- The Green Planet.
