Overview

A new way of understanding our place in the web of life from a scholar praised for his ā€œgraceful proseā€ (Publishers Weekly).

The disconnection between humans and nature is perhaps one of the most fundamental problems faced by our species today. This schism is arguably the root cause of most of the environmental catastrophes unraveling around us. Until we come to terms with the depths of our alienation, we will continue to fail to understand that what happens to nature also happens to us.

In The Biology of Wonder Andreas Weber proposes a new approach to the biological sciences that puts the human back in nature. He argues that feelings and emotions, far from being superfluous to the study of organisms, are the very foundation of life. From this basic premise flows the development of a "poetic ecology" which intimately connects our species to everything that surrounds usā€”showing that subjectivity and imagination are prerequisites of biological existence.

Written by a leader in the emerging fields of biopoetics and biosemiotics, The Biology of Wonder demonstrates that there is no separation between us and the world we inhabit, and in so doing it validates the essence of our deep experience. By reconciling science with meaning, expression, and emotion, this landmark work brings us to a crucial understanding of our place in the rich and diverse framework of lifeā€”a revolution for biology as groundbreaking as the theory of relativity for physics.

ā€œGrounded in science, yet eloquently narrated, this is a groundbreaking book. Weberā€™s visionary work provides new insight into human/nature interconnectedness and the dire consequences we face by remaining disconnected.ā€ ā€”Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods
