Feature

★ Italian Science Book Award winner, botanist Renato Bruni as foreword!
★ Botanical Garden of Padua provides a wealth of images in this book!
★ Nature is multimedia: colors, smells and sounds are the languages it uses, and they are important at different levels. But if we are able to see beyond the mirror, to understand what lies behind such elegance, our surprise will be even greater.

Description

What would our lives be like without the tomato, the potato, the cocoa or the corn? Without the colors of the sunflower, the scent of frangipani, the sweetness of pineapple? Or without the fir trees of Paneveggio, with which Stradivari built his violins? The beauty of plants has inspired writers, painters and poets since ancient times, just as scientists have been fascinated by their complex evolution and the relationships they have created with animals, tested and refined over millennia. Silently a flower blooms explores these entanglements, between irony and amazement, revealing details of the plant kingdom that are often unknown, even though we have them in front of our eyes every day.
