"Life Movements in Plants, Volume II" by Jagadis Chandra Bose is a scientific exploration into the ways plants react to their surroundings. The writing examines how plants move and grow in response to things like light, temperature, and gravity. Bose's research attempts to find the basic reactions that cause plants to behave in certain ways when these forces act upon them. With advanced instruments, the author carefully documents even the smallest changes in plant growth, showing the difficulties in fully understanding why these reactions happen and how the research contributes to plant science.
