Editorial Reviews

John Wilkes
Although [these essays] are masterpieces of prose style, they more effectively illustrate Wilson's own biophilia than his contention that biophilia exists as a general human trait.

From The Critics
Wilson's own empathy with things illuminates these essays with fresh perceptions of everyday matters...They are masterpieces of prose style.
