Zoë Schlanger: Die Lichtwandler. Wie Pflanzen uns das Leben schenken

In the organizer's words:

Plants cross oceans, transform light into life and perceive what remains hidden from us. They lead complex social lives and help to stop the seemingly inevitable climate catastrophe. We owe the fact that our planet is habitable to these creatures that are both familiar and alien to us. Full of curiosity, Zoë Schlanger traces the secrets of the plant world and the interconnectedness of all living things. She tells of the adaptability and ingenious survival techniques of plants, which manage to turn the most unsuitable places into their habitat. In doing so, she delves into the fascinating world of botany and interweaves her findings with philosophical reflections on the interrelationships of life.

Zoë Schlanger is an award-winning science journalist. Her articles have appeared in the New York Times and TIME magazine. Schlanger lives in Montreal and New York.
