Overview

"All life in all worlds" -this was the object of the author's seventeen-year quest for knowledge and discovery, culminating in this book. In a manner unmistakably his own, Murchie delves into the interconnectedness of all life on the planet and of such fields as biology, geology, sociology, mathematics, and physics. He offers us what the poet May Sarton has called "a good book to take to a desert island as sole companion, so rich is it in knowledge and insight."

    A layman's guide to Biology.

    This is a very down-to-earth exploration of everything to do with life, while at the same time diving into more broad, philosophical questions. A highly readable book that is guaranteed to enlighten the reader and start their gears turning.

    wow

    Really really cool stuff. Not too scientific in language but full of science and philosophy and things you'd just never thought of before. Perfect for the person who is always asking 'why?' I learned something new with ever page and enjoyed it!
