Story
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

Dr. Catherine Kleier invites us to open our eyes to the phenomenal world of plant life and to the process she calls “Natura Revelata”, the joy of celebrating and learning from the secrets of nature. As Dr. Kleier shares her knowledge with contagious excitement for her subject, she emphasizes the middle ground: Instead of focusing on cell microbiology or the study of ecosystems and habitats, she stresses the basic biology, function, and the amazing adaptations of the plants we see all around us.

Incredible book despite stilted reading
The performance is almost robotic and undermines the content. Still worth listening to though. I loved the ideas presented.

complete nonsense.
This book is unfounded pseudoscience at best. Absolute nonsense. I do not recommend this to anyone that actually wants to learn something.

The ideas were unconnected and unconvincing. A lot of jumping to conclusions without proof. Would not recommend.
