ISBN: 9789004327160 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Plants have been (and still are) seen as closer to static objects than to living, moving beings. Making use of examples from film and literature, Janet Janzen demonstrates a shift in the perception of plants-as-objects to...
