Plants Matter: Exploring the Becomings of Plants and People: Materialities in Anthropology and Archaeology
Editat de Luci Attala, Louise Steelen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 noi 2023
Plants are often presented as resources for us to use. This book challenges that perspective by demonstrating other ways that plants matter. By turning away from the idea that humanity calls all the shots, this book reminds the reader that plants instrumentally influence and organize our lives by shaping choices and beliefs.

Recenzii
"This book puts plants back among people and shows that paying attention to the people-plant relationship opens new ground for understanding the plant-filled world we live in."
"What if plants were people who sense, discover, remember and decide just as people do? Who communicate amongst themselves, whose kith and kin are spread about, rooted in relations of filiation and descent, who breathe the wind and thirst for water? If only we humans could attend to what plants have to teach us, how much we could learn! Read this book, and find out for yourself."
