The book relates dozen of experiences, many made in the fifties by the Russians.
In one exemple, that one made by an american team on NY, they took a home plant, an aspidistra I think (?) who had been with her owner for quite a while. They put electrodes on the plant linked to a graph. Then they asked its owner who was a young businesswoman, to walk to her office and at one point knowledgeably, to get down the curb when the light would turn green, being careful and making sure she would scare herself a bit at the oncoming cars but of course careful to not be run over, but step back on the curb.. the car driver was really mad, lol but the apidistra showed a major reaction at that moment on the graph, which showed that the plant was in synch with her owner. The exercice was repeated a few times to make sure ...
In another case they put a plant in a secluded room and also linked her to a graph. Then they had someone come in and purposefully (!) rip a large leaf and tear it into pieces. Then the person left the room. They made two or three different people come in, and step next to the plant, no reaction on the graph, then they re-introduced in the room the person who had mistreated the plant and made him get close to the plant again, HUGE reaction on the graph... poor plant !
The book is really awesome.
