The book "Plants Matter: Exploring the becoming of Plants and People” Edited by Dr Luci Attala and Professor Louise Steel. University of Wales Press; is part of the “Materialities in Anthropology and Archaeology” series. Plants Matter explores how plants and people live together. This is not only a book about the importance of plants and how people use them, but it argues also that knowing the world is achieved-with plants. In addition to populating the landscape, plants alter human physiology in multiple material ways, through gatherings or through sensorial conversations using the chemistry of taste, perfume, colour, sound and textures.
