Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume argues for the importance of everyday sensuous conservation and its ability to grow diverse, livable worlds where human embodiment is understood as part of--not separate from--plant life. Contributors argue that the majority of biodiversity conservation worldwide is carried out not by large-scale conservation projects but by ordinary people engaging in sensory-motivated, caretaking relationships with specific plants.
