When Plants Attack: Strange and Terrifying Plants

By Rebecca E. Hirsch

Science writer and plant expert Rebecca E. Hirsch gives readers a look at a meat-eating plant that traps unsuspecting mammals, an African tree that enlists armies of biting ants as bodyguards, and an Australian shrub with prickly, poison-filled leaves that have been known to land humans in the hospital. But don't get too close or . . . OUCH
