"Life Movements in Plants, Volume I" by Jagadis Chandra Bose is a scientific book that looks closely at how plants react to things like light, temperature, and touch, and it zooms in on how these things cause plants to move. Bose's study covers a lot of plant actions, from the ones that all plants do to special examples, like the "Praying Palm" and its daily movements. The start of the book gets ready to thoroughly check out plant movements and begins to understand what makes plants react to outside stimulation. The book points out that plant movements can be unpredictable even when conditions are the same, which tells us that lots of things mix together to change how a plant acts. Bose also talks about how he does his research and the equipment he uses, focusing on how important it is to measure things very carefully to figure out what's happening inside the plant. The "Praying Palm" is used as a main example, and the book explains why these studies matter when showing how changes in the environment connect to the plant's daily dance.

He was a pioneer in the investigation of radio microwave optics, made significant contributions to botany, and was a major force behind the expansion of experimental science on the Indian subcontinent. Bose is considered the father of Bengali science fiction. A crater on the Moon was named in his honour. He founded the Bose Institute, a premier research institute in India and also one of its oldest. Established in 1917, the institute was the first interdisciplinary research centre in Asia. He served as the Director of Bose Institute from its inception until his death.
