Su questo libro

Recensione:

"His [Edward O. Wilson's] prose is always so lucid and eloquent."

--The Bookseller

"There can be few better guides through our species' past journey and potential for the future... A provocative and beautifully written collection of essays."

--Nature

"A valedictory work... What a lively writer Mr. Wilson can be. This two time winner of the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction stands above the crowd of biology writers the way John le Carré stands above spy writers. He's wise, learned, wicked, vivid, oracular." --The New York Times Book Review

"In his typically elegant style, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Wilson (Letters to a Young Scientist) cannily and candidly probes the nature of human existence." --Publishers Weekly
