The product of diligent research and intelligent composition.
When under threat or facing hardship, humans and animals alike have the precious ability to move away from the danger. If a hawk dives for a mouse, the mouse scurries into its hole. If a human smells fire, he can exit his home and call for help. Plants, however, face a myriad of threats and depressors, and have to either adapt or face decline. The Secret of Plants in the Environment, “intends to provide a synthesis of knowledge on the adaptation pathways induced by changes or stressors.” Modern day living takes a toll on the environment and this book examines some of the consequences on our vital plant life.
The product of diligent research and intelligent composition, Rishikesh Upadhyay has offered up a valuable contribution in pursuit of environmental harmony. The book expands on concepts that those involved in the environmental sciences will find relevant. Evidence is delivered in a concise structure, complemented by more than a dozen helpful illustrations that make the points come to life. It is abundantly clear that human survival depends on the survival and adaptation of plants. This book addresses the vital connection we have with plants, their clever physiology, and it also gives food for thought on the future of our food. Kudos to Rishikesh Upadhyay for publishing such an important and enlightening work.
