This book illustrates the form and function of plants through the lens of a physicist. It also functions as a great vehicle for plant scientists to dive into the realm of physics using a familiar knowledge base. An excellent read; dense for those without the knowledge base, but fascin||
“[A]n interesting interdisciplinary glimpse into the physics of plant biology. . . . A useful resource for advanced courses in botany, plant physiology, and biophysics. Recommended.”
For centuries, botanists and physicists have mutually benefitted from collaborations. Galileo used the hollow stalks of grass to illustrate the idea that peripheral rather than centrally located construction materials provide most of the resistance to bending forces. Leonardo da Vinci’s interest in fluid mechanics was inspired by observing the cross-sectional areas of tree trunks, and his drawings illustrating the concept of a parachute and an auto-gyros...
