Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Through essays, poetry, stories, and images, writers and artists offer their perceptions of how we fit into the world and where we might be headed.The theory of evolution connects us to the natural world, explaining how and why we are a part of nature. The idea of progress, on the other hand, projects a destination.

The second section, 'Steps from the Cave,' focuses on human change, and features Ellen Dissanayake's unusual look at prehistoric cave paintings in France, poetry by John Canaday, and a richly layered short story by Floyd Skloot. The third section, 'Places in Time,' moves outward to examine the world evolving and includes a reminiscence by Leslie Van Gelder of growing up 'in the church of Darwin' and Eva Salzman's account of an infinitely reverberating walk through a Long Island neighborhood. In the fourth section, 'Getting to the Future,' the writers consider different manifestations of progress: Katherine Creed Page examines a 'future perfect' through reproductive technology, Kevin Warwick reports on linking his nervous system to a computer by means of a small electronic circuit implanted under his skin, and Joan Maloof meditates on our possible future 'de-evolution'an abdication of our dominating role and gradual return to naturewhich brings the book full circle. …
