Produktinformationen zu „How Light Makes Life: The Hidden Wonders and World-Saving Powers of Photosynthesis (ePub)“

It's a clunky word for a miracle: Photosynthesis. But there's no life on Earth without it. For biologist Raffael Jovine, it's a consuming passion, a great unsung force of nature. He makes his case in How Light Makes Life, a catalog of living wondersand a blueprint for a better planet.

Imagine harvesting pure sunlight to use as fuel, while turning carbon dioxide into breathable oxygen. This is what a leaf does every day. And photosynthesis isn't just for plants: Corals partner with photosynthetic organisms to create the most productive habitat on Earth. Slugs eat chloroplasts as natural green camouflage. Hornets use photosynthesis as an innovative means of air-conditioningand much more!

The revelatory vision of How Light Makes Life is how we ourselves might harness the power of photosynthesis: to repair ecosystems, stabilize the climate, and grow more food sustainably. On this vivid journey, you'll see how every seed contains the key to our futurethrough the photosynthetic pigments in your own eyes!
