Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. History is not a prerogative of the human species, Edward O. Wilson declares in Half-Earth. Demonstrating that we blindly ignore the histories of millions of other species, Wilson warns us that a point of no return is imminent. Refusing to believe that our extinction is predetermined, Wilson has written Half-Earth as a cri de coeur, proposing that the only solution to our impending "Sixth Extinction" is to increase the area of natural reserves to half the surface of the earth. Half-Earth is a resounding conclusion to the best-selling trilogy begun by the "splendid" (Financial Times) The Social Conquest of Earth (ISBN 978 0 87140 363 6) and "engaging and highly readable" (Times Higher Education) The Meaning of Human Existence (ISBN 978 0 87140 100 7). The worlds greatest naturalist (Jeffrey Sachs) proposes a plan to save Earths imperiled biosphere. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -A deep exploration into the origins of human creativity, The Origins of Creativity grapples with the question of how this particular form of human expression - so central to our identity as individuals and, collectively, as a species - came about and how it has manifested itself over centuries. Following the commercial and critical success of Half-Earth and The Meaning of Human Existence, Wilson offers his most inventive work to date. He reflects on how we came to be human, as well as the various channels in which creativity expresses itself. The Origins of Creativity will take its place in Wilson's decorated and widely celebrated repertoire as a classic in its own right and, like Darwin's Origin of Species, will continue to influence our understanding of what it means to be human for generations to come. 240 pp. Englisch.

First edition of this work in which Wilson examines what makes human beings supremely different from all other species. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Edward O. Wilson on the title page, who has also drawn a picture of an ant. Fine in a fine dust jacket. "A valedictory work What a lively writer Mr. Wilson can be. This two time winner of the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction stands above the crowd of biology writers the way John le Carré stands above spy writers. He s wise, learned, wicked, vivid, oracular" (Dwight Garner, New York Times Book Review).

First edition of this modern classic. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author to biologist Edward O. Wilson on the title page, "For Edward Daniel Dennett." With Edward O. Wilson's signature to the front free endpaper. The recipient, Edward O. Wilson was a biologist, naturalist, ecologist, and entomologist known for developing the field of sociobiology. He was a humanist laureate of the International Academy of Humanism.ĀHe was a two-time winner of theĀPulitzer Prize for General NonfictionĀ(forĀOn Human Nature, and The AntsĀand a New York TimesĀbestsellingĀauthor forĀThe Social Conquest of Earth,ĀLetters to a Young Scientist, andĀThe Meaning of Human Existence. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Lawrence Ratzkin. An exceptional association. In a book that is both groundbreaking and accessible, Daniel C. Dennett, whom Chet Raymo of The Boston Globe calls "one of the most provocative thinkers on the planet," focuses his unerringly logical mind on the theory of natural selection, showing how Darwin's great idea transforms and illuminates our traditional view of humanity's place in the universe. Dennett vividly describes the theory itself and then extends Darwin's vision with impeccable arguments to their often surprising conclusions, challenging the views of some of the most famous scientists of our day.
