That book, The Secret Life Of Plants was originally published circa 1970.
Most if not all of the claims--like how plants "scream" when they're being harvested, or can recognize people--have been debunked.
It made (and apparently still does) a lot of $$ for the authors, but it has no basis in truth.

actually proven a few years ago in Japan , confirmed in Germany independantly,For example ,some "screams" are caused by water stress but are actually cell walls cracking.The sounds are on an ultrasonic level , bugs can only hear and know the plant is weak ,so they attack.Yeah it was written a long time ago , but 90 percent of the info is still common science.

There are 4 stages to belief:thats stupid , thats interesting but stupid , thats interesting but whats the purpose , and I always told you so

there is also a movie on netflix called the secret life of plants, There are some very interesting experiments that show plants do have there own form of conciseness. Ask any gardener and they will tell u the same. why else would plants respond favorably to music and conversation?
