Book Club: The Light Eaters

Join us as we read Zoë Schlanger’s The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth

We need plants to survive. But what do they need us for—if at all? An eye-opening and informative look at the ecosystem we live in, this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants—and our own place—in the natural world.

Schlanger takes us across the globe, digging into her own memories and into the soil with the scientists who have spent their waking days studying these amazing entities up close.

Keen to grab February’s book club read ­The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard ahead of time? Join our discussion, book club attendees will take home a copy!
