The Living and Non-Living

The book The Living and Non-Living by Jagadis Chandra Bose explores the response of living tissues to stimuli focusing on the electrical response. It delves into the conditions for obtaining electric response the types of response and the universal applicability of this mode of response. The author compares the response in sensitive plants to that in ordinary plants aiming to establish parallels between animal and plant responses. The book provides insights into the physiological activity of living tissues through the study of electric responses.
