THEY LURE. THEY TRAP. THEY DIGEST.

Carnivorous plants are among the strangest organisms on Earth, evolved over millions of years

to survive in places where most plants would starve. Plant Carnivory takes readers across the

globe to explore how these remarkable plants function and thrive where almost nothing else can.

A lifelong nature and carnivorous plant enthusiast, Michael Murray uses his background in

biology and medicine to take you on a trip around the world and introduce you to these plants.

This is not a cultivation book. It's for anyone who has ever held a Venus flytrap and asked, how

does it actually do that?

Murray also introduces a side of these plants that very few people know about: the medical

potential they might hold. It's a chapter you won't find in any other book.

Thoroughly researched, he breaks down the hard-to-understand physiology so you can make

sense of these fascinating plants. And with many of his own photographs, he gives you the

feeling of holding the actual field journal that traveled the world documenting them.
