Product Review
"A fascinating collection from one of the most influential thinkers of our time."--Steven Pinker, author of
How the Mind Works and
The Blank Slate"A wonderful sample of the writings of one of our most distinguished evolutionists and a great champion of biodiversity. Wilson is also one of the broadest thinkers on the intellectual stage today. This is an especially important book for a time when science in the United States is under attack by forces seeking to reverse the enlightenment. "--Paul R. Ehrlich, author of
Human Natures: Genes, Cultures, and the Human Prospect"Edward Wilson is among the great scientists, thinkers, and authors of my lifetime. In this book he gathers and places in context his own key writings from 1949 to the present. The result is both a moving book, and a treasure for those interested in science and history"--Jared Diamond, author of
Guns, Germs, and Steel
Reader ReviewsE.O. Wilson is America's foremost writer on biology, biodiversity, and conservation. (He has two Pulitzer Prizes to prove it.)In "Nature Revealed," we get a look at his most significant writings, just as they appeared in the original journals. This selection gives us a look into the mind of one of today's most brilliant and influential scientists, but it also presents a moving clarification of some of the most important conservation issues facing us today. Everyone who cares about the fate of the earth should read this book.
