Recenzje

'This book is just what is needed for the global dialogue that we must have about how to navigate through our perfect storm of global crises. Dr. Corning is at the leading edge of evolutionary biology, sweeping away our focus on hostile competition and, instead, showing that synergistic cooperation is the route to the friendly collaboration that is necessary to build a caring, inclusive future.' Elisabet Sahtouris, Ph.D., Living Systems Design consultant and author of EarthDance: Living Systems in Evolution.
