Hard cover. Condition: Very Good. In Very Good+ condition. The thrilling adventures of a modern-day Huck Finn, whose improbable love of the "strange, beautiful, and elegant" world of ants ends up transforming his own life and the citizens of Nokobee County. Battling both snakes bites and cynical relatives who just don?t understand his consuming fascination with the outdoors, Raff explores the pristine beauty of the Nokobee wildland. And in doing so, he witnesses the remarkable creation and destruction of four separate ant colonies (?The Anthill Chronicles?), whose histories are epics that unfold on picnic grounds, becoming a young naturalist in the process. Part thriller, part parable, Anthill will not only transfix readers with its stunning twists and startling revelations, but will provide readers with new insights into the meaning of survival in our rapidly changing world.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Edward O. Wilson has distilled sixty years of teaching into a book for students, young and old. Reflecting on his coming-of-age in the South as a Boy Scout and a lover of ants and butterflies, Wilson threads these twenty-one letters, each richly illustrated, with autobiographical anecdotes that illuminate his career-both his successes and his failures-and his motivations for becoming a biologist. At a time in human history when our survival is more than ever linked to our understanding of science, Wilson insists that success in the sciences does not depend on mathematical skill, but rather a passion for finding a problem and solving it. From the collapse of stars to the exploration of rain forests and the oceans' depths, Wilson instills a love of the innate creativity of science and a respect for the human being's modest place in the planet's ecosystem in his readers. Pulitzer Prize-winning biologist Wilson imparts the wisdom of his storied career to the next generation.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Where did we come from? What are we? Where are we going? In a generational work of clarity and passion, one of our greatest living scientists directly addresses these three fundamental questions of religion, philosophy, and science while "overturning the famous theory that evolution naturally encourages creatures to put family first" (Discover magazine). Refashioning the story of human evolution in a work that is certain to generate headlines, Wilson draws on his remarkable knowledge of biology and social behavior to show that group selection, not kin selection, is the primary driving force of human evolution. He proves that history makes no sense without prehistory, and prehistory makes no sense without biology. Demonstrating that the sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally biological in nature, Wilson presents us with the clearest explanation ever produced as to the origin of the human condition and why it resulted in our domination of the Earth's biosphere. In a generational work of clarity and passion, one of the greatest living scientists directly addresses three fundamental questions of religion, philosophy, and science. Includes 90 illustrations.

soft. Condition: New. "Reverendo: necesitamos su colaboración. La Creación -la naturaleza viviente- está en riesgo. Los hombres de ciencia estiman que si la transformación del hábitat natural y otras actividades humanas destructivas continúan con el ritmo actual, la mitad de las especies animales y vegetales de la tierra se habrán extinguido o estarán en peligro de extinción al terminar este siglo. " Escrita bajo la forma de una apasionada carta a un pastor bautista, 'La creación', obra urgente y oportuna, alerta sobre las consecuencias de la contaminación, el calentamiento global y la rápida declinación de la diversidad biológica en la tierra, y sugiere que la ciencia y la religión deben actuar conjuntamente para resolver algunos de los problemas más graves del siglo que se inicia. Edward O. Wilson, uno de los más importantes biólogos contemporáneos, hombre de ciencia y, como se define a sí mismo, "humanista laico", guía a los lectores en un viaje sorprendente por las maravillas de la biodiversidad, advirtiendo, a la vez, sobre los riesgos a que está expuesto el mundo natural, y explica por qué la preservación de las especies es de vital importancia para la humanidad, por qué "cada especie, por minúscula y humilde que pueda parecer, es una obra maestra de la biología y un bien digno de ser preservado". "E. O. Wilson, quizás el mayor biólogo de nuestra generación, concluye el trabajo y el pensamiento de toda una vida con este libro desafiante, de extrema claridad, sinceridad, cortesía y tolerancia. 'La creación' es uno de sus libros más perturbadores e importantes. Wilson habla con una elocuencia humana que nos afecta a todos nosotros. " Oliver Sacks "'La creación' es el trabajo sabio y encantador de un hombre verdaderamente docto, hecho con un espíritu que los lectores de cualquier filiación reconocerán con reverencia. " Matthew Scully, The New York Times Book Review "Con su habitual elocuencia, paciencia y humor, Wilson, ganador del Premio Pulitzer, nos toma de la mano y nos conduce apasionadamente dentro de un orden natural sorprendente y diverso, cantando sus maravillas y cautivando nuestros corazones con los misteriosos caminos de la naturaleza.
