O autorze

Dr. Alan Rayner is currently President of the Bath Natural History Society. He is an evolutionary ecologist, writer and artist. Dr. Rayner has published in numerous papers and books, including, most recently, 'NaturesScope’. He is a former President of the British Mycological Society (in 1998). Since 2000, Dr. Rayner has been pioneering awareness of 'natural inclusion', the mutual inclusion of energetic flux and spatial stillness in all locally distinguishable phenomena. This enables us to understand ourselves and others as dynamic inclusions of our natural neighbourhood, not independent objects. His special interest is in helping people to become more aware of the diversity of wildlife in their local neighborhood, and how this can help us to live together in a more passionate, compassionate and sustainable way than we currently do.
