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 2008)
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 2008)
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.

Guns, Germs, and Steel )
This book is a treasure trove of ideas... It always rewards.
(J. Stewart
British Journal of Entomology and Natural History )
Lucid and eminently readable... a valuable primer for those interested in the history of science.
