    The Green Thread is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that takes the risk of departing from the long-standing human perception of plants-defined by what they are thought to lack, including autonomy, agency, consciousness, and, arguably, intelligence-to explore new territories where the re-conceptualization of vegetal beings as active agents in social and cultural environments becomes possible.

    “Over fifty years ago Rachel Carson wrote in Silent Spring that our “attitude toward plants is a singularly narrow one.” This book offers readers in the humanities and sciences a more broadly conceived and sophisticated interdisciplinary conversation about plants. More significantly, the book reinvigorates a human dialogue with plants that has been displaced by modern cultural attitudes toward the vegetal world.” -- Mark C. Long, Keene State College
