Shaped By Vegetal Matters - Phyto-Influence on Humans, Other Animals, and Place

Tracing lines of vegetal influence and affect, this book describes how plants influence and shape humans and relationships on the land. The author uses four case studies to reveal multi-directional influences across situated multispecies social milieus and finds poiesis as weaving phyto-human connections.
