I just finished a 2003 reprinting of Peter Thompkins _The Secret Life of Plants_. Clearly much of the research work at Borderlands in general and in Gerry Vassilatos' books in particular intersects heavily with this work. Amoung other things, Thompkins gives treatment to the electronic+plant sensors of L. George Lawrence, touches on Wilhelm Reich and Rudolf Steiner, and has one of the better chapters on Radionics I've read so far including an overview of Abrams, Drown, Hieronymous, and De La Warr. Since the book is more of a survey of the field than anything else, the bibliography is the most interesting part. If anything, I'm disapponted the book hasn't been updated since 1973. There is plenty more in this book concerning electric-like/magnetic-like/plasma-like species of light/energy with profound interactions with biological systems, but again with no solid theoretical underpinnings - only phenomenology. Here is the new list of threads to go searching down:
