RESPONSE IN THE LIVING
AND NON-LIVING
Sir Jagadis Chunder Bose
Another work for the Bose archives at BSRF, this addition covers some of Bose’s most revolutionary and revealing work. Namely, Bose explores responses in inorganic substances to a number of environmental and systemic stimuli. Anyone with an interest in stimulus-response phenomenon in the plant world will find shockingly similar the results in the chemical realm. Perhaps the most critical work by Bose, it carries far reaching implications for all who research into the Borderlands of Science.

COLLECTED PHYSICAL PAPERS
OF SIR JAGADIS BOSE
Sir J.C. Bose
A collection of papers dating from 1895. Covers the exhibition of fatigue in non-living matter under chemical stimulants, and the physiological mechanisms responsible for reactions in plants and other living matter to changes in the environment. An account of the devices used in the perception of response is given such as the Crescograph, Resonant Recorder, and Magnetic Radiometer with illustrative examples of their application.

THE NERVOUS MECHANISM OF PLANTS
Sir J.C. Bose
Further reaches into the study of plant response and associated theories. In the usual manner of his work, Bose explores deeper into the active response capabilities in plants, in spite of their lack of a nervous system as we know it.

LIFE MOVEMENTS IN PLANTS
Sir Jagadis Chunder Bose
This work, originally published in 1931, contains numerous articles relating to the similarities between the mechanisms and life processes of the plant and the animal. Bose's conclusion is that plants contain organs which are analogous to muscle and nerves in animals. A study of this collection of articles, most written by Bose himself, some written by other scientists, will provide valuable insight into the dynamic life of plants.

THE LIFE AND WORK OF
SIR JAGADIS C. BOSE
Patrick Geddes, 1920.
Dr. Bose was a pioneer in plant response research and was featured heavily in the book, The Secret Life of Plants. Bose tracked the trail of the living from human and animals, through plant life, into the metals. He discovered that they all responded, at different levels of sensitivity, in the same manner to the same stimuli! He would drug metals and record the recovery times!

PLANT AUTOGRAPHS AND
THEIR REVELATIONS
Sir Jagadis Chunder Bose, 1927.
Bose developed his own special instrumentation for all his experiments. The crescograph could magnify response sensitivities in plants to provide charts of life activities at extremely minute levels. Chapters include: The Plant-Script; Behavior of Plants; Drugged Plants; Electrical Response; Sleep of Plants; Response of Inorganic Matter; Wounded Plants; Sense of Direction in Plants; Nerve of Plants; Packed with charts and diagrams showing completely how this work is done.

PLANETARY INFLUENCES
UPON PLANTS
Ernst Michael Kranich
This book carefully traces the relationship of the “form language” of plants to the planets. Many examples and drawings are included illustrating the connections between the orbital paths of the planets and the shapes and movements found in a variety of plant life. Highly recommended.
