Zoe Schlanger with Ed Yong, The Light Eaters
Zoë Schlanger and Ed Yong on The Light Eaters
Author Event
* Saturday, May 11, 5:00 pm
Zoë Schlanger visits to discuss her new book, The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth (Harper). Ed Yong, bestselling author of The Immense World, will join Zoë in conversation.
“The Light Eaters is a masterpiece of science writing. Burning with open-minded curiosity, this exploration of the emerging revolution in plant science will challenge what you think you know and ignite a new way of seeing the plant world. Part detective story, part field trip and part philosophy, this brilliant book stretches the mind, toward a profound new understanding of the sophistication of under-appreciated plants. I feel it as an antidote to arrogance, as it engenders humility, respect and awe for the light eaters who make the world.” — Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants
