    An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
     
     
     
    Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
     
     
     
    A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

    The universe is vast beyond comprehension, stretching far beyond the limits of our understanding. It encompasses everything we know, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. Our solar system is just a tiny speck in the grand expanse of space, and Earth itself is but a small dot in the grand scheme of things. This unimaginable scale raises profound questions: How did the universe come to be? What forces shape its destiny? And what is the true nature of the cosmos that surrounds us? 
    The history of cosmology dates back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations looked up at the night sky and began to ponder the movements of the stars. Early astronomers devised rudimentary models of the universe, many of which placed Earth at its center. These early models, though flawed, laid the foundation for future discoveries. The development of telescopes in the 17th century, most notably by Galileo, brought a revolution in how we view the universe. With the advent of modern science, these early theories were replaced by more accurate models, culminating in our current understanding of the cosmos. 
    One of the most significant breakthroughs in the history of cosmology was the discovery that the universe is expanding. In the early 20th century, astronomer Edwin Hubble observed that galaxies were moving away from us, leading to the realization that the universe itself was stretching outward. This discovery, known as Hubble’s Law, provided key evidence for the Big Bang theory, which suggests that the universe began as a singularity and has been expanding ever since. The Big Bang theory remains the most widely accepted explanation for the origin of the universe.

    Aztec Astronomy and Astrology:...

    Nearly 500 years after the Spanish conquered their mighty empire, the Aztecs are often remembered today for their major capital, Tenochtitlan, as well as being fierce conquerors of the Valley of Mexico who often engaged in human sacrifice rituals. Unlike the Maya, the Aztecs are not widely viewed or remembered with nuance, in part because their own leader burned extant Aztec writings and rewrote a mythologized history explaining his empire’s dominance less than a century before the Spanish arrived. Naturally, Cortes and other Spaniards depicted the Aztecs as savages greatly in need of conversion to Catholicism. While the Maya are remembered for their astronomy, numeral system, and calendar, the Aztecs have primarily been remembered in a far narrower way, despite continuing to be a source of pride to Mexicans through the centuries. 
    	For the Aztec, astronomy was not a purely scientific pursuit but intimately linked to religious, mythological, and ideological elements that were of the highest importance. The celestial realm held a sacred nature, as did the many gods and goddesses that dwelt there, so for all Mesoamerican cultures, astronomy was a fundamental part of their daily lives. Thus, astronomy was present in their calendars, religion, and even agriculture, and in close relation to astronomy, the concept of time was also an essential part of their worldview. The Aztec recorded many of the astronomical events they observed in codices and hieroglyphic inscriptions, but the main evidence of their deep astronomical knowledge comes from their calendar system. This information was then used to plan the orientation of buildings and ceremonial centers, which were aligned to sunrises or sunsets corresponding to special dates, such as solstices or equinoxes. Observational calendars were also used to schedule agricultural activities, as well as rituals, festivals, and celebrations, on an annual cycle.
