Stefano Mancuso

Stefano Mancuso is an Italian plant neurobiologist and professor at the University of Florence who is one of the world's leading authorities on plant intelligence and behaviour. He has been named by The New Yorker as one of the people who will change the world. The Nation of Plants proposes a constitution for the planet written from the perspective of plants — the oldest, most successful organisms on Earth. Mancuso argues that plants have developed solutions to the problems humanity faces, from energy and community to resilience and adaptation, and that we have much to learn from their collective intelligence. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a brilliant, paradigm-shifting work of popular science. Mancuso's writing appeals to anyone interested in nature, ecology, sustainability, and the revolutionary idea that plants might have more to teach us than we ever imagined.
