Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, which was groundbreaking when first published, delves into the world of plant life, discovering intricate details of their composition by employing a simple yet ingenious technique: boiling plant fragments in nitric acid. Through this method, the author was able to isolate and study various plant structures, observing fascinating details about the morphology of roots, stems, and leaves. The author explores the delicate interplay between plant organs, highlighting the critical role of "nervimotility" in facilitating plant movement. Through this lens, the book sheds light on the remarkable sensory capabilities of plants, revealing their ability to perceive and respond to external stimuli. The book not only expands our understanding of plant biology but also challenges traditional notions of plant behavior, inviting us to consider the possibility of a more complex and dynamic plant world. By peering into the minute structures that make up plant life, the author uncovers a hidden realm of intricate mechanisms and responsive behaviors, forever changing our perspective on the natural world.

Note, the first work by Dutrochet is a very scarce landmark study: "Dutrochet asserted that respiration follows the same pattern in both animals and plants, showing that the minute openings on the surface of leaves (the stomata) communicate with lacunae in deeper tissue. He also demonstrated that only the green parts of the plant can absorb carbon dioxide, thereby transforming light energy into chemical energy. (See: Garrison-Morton: 110).…
