Life Movements in Plants, Volume II
Jagadis Chandra Bose
299 pages~5 hr 58 min read210 chapters$4.99
In the second volume Jagadis Bose turns to tropism, the way plants bend toward light, gravity, and touch. With his balanced crescograph he measures growth so fine the eye cannot follow it, revealing a hidden vocabulary of movement. Pioneering work that blurred the line between plant and animal. Measure the slow gestures of growing things.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
