    Propositions about artificial intelligence are being debated seriously in the 21st Century, but machines, unlike plants, are not even living organisms.
    So, are plants sentient beings, like humans? Do they feel? Can they communicate?
    Plant sentience is a subject that has intrigued mankind over the ages - from the ancient Greeks, Plato and Aristotle, through to modern day philosophers and psychologists.
    In this extraordinary book, Australia's Dr Terence McMullen presents an engaging, systematic and thorough study of plant psychology.
    The aim of this work is to bring together and organize the contentions of serious students of plant life who argue that there are objective grounds for plant psychology.
    Chaste Mimosa: The Psychology of Plants is a compelling and essential book for all thinkers, students and teachers of psychology, philosophy, physiology, plus all disciplines related to the study of plants.

    In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or middle ages time period lasted around from the 5th to the late 15th centuries, likewise to the Post-classical period of worldwide history. It started with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the 3 conventional departments of Western history: classical antiquity, the middle ages period, and the contemporary period. The middle ages period is itself partitioned into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages. 
    Population decrease, counter-urbanization, the collapse of central authority, invasions of countries, and mass moves of tribe, which had started in Late Antiquity, continued into the Early Middle Ages. The massive movements of the Migration Period, including but not limited to numerous Germanic tribes, formed new kingdoms in what stayed of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East-- once part of the Byzantine Empire-- came under the rule of the Umayyad Caliphate, an Islamic empire, after conquest by Muhammad's followers. 
    Explore more about this long time in history, a dark time when people faced countless challenges to their survival.

    Bridging Spirit and Science -...

    Spirit and Science are viewed as opposing views. I have lived my life in the middle of this divide. Trained as an engineer and scientist, I was taught to trust logic, mathematics, and experimental proof.  
    Yet my personal experiences — from moments of prophecy to direct awareness of subtle energies — convinced me that there is more to reality than conventional science admits.  
    For years I tried to keep the two worlds separate: the rational and the mystical. But over time, the boundary dissolved. I realized that both perspectives describe the same universe from different vantage points.  
    My work, and this book in particular, is about restoring the unity that once existed between them. 
    The purpose of this book is not to replace science with mysticism, nor to reduce spiritual experience to chemistry or neurology. Rather, it aims to show that consciousness, energy, and matter are aspects of a single integrated system.
