Editorial Reviews
Review

"Showcases the biologist's special talents for extrapolating global theories from arcane and detailed research... Enlightening and thought-provoking." -- Library Journal

"Nature Revealed demonstrates, again and again Wilson's endless capacity to put scientific findings into a broader context and to bridge gaps between disciplines. " -- Nature

"E.O. Wilson's many contributions to science can hardly be summarized in a newspaper column, but the highlights are well preserved in Nature Revealed. " -- Whit Gibbons, Aiken Standard

Review

"A fascinating collection from one of the most influential thinkers of our time."--Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works and The Blank Slate

"A wonderful sample of the writings of one of our most distinguished evolutionists and a great champion of biodiversity. Wilson is also one of the broadest thinkers on the intellectual stage today. This is an especially important book for a time when science in the United States is under attack by forces seeking to reverse the enlightenment. "--Paul R. Ehrlich, author of Human Natures: Genes, Cultures, and the Human Prospect

"Edward Wilson is among the great scientists, thinkers, and authors of my lifetime. In this book he gathers and places in context his own key writings from 1949 to the present. The result is both a moving book, and a treasure for those interested in science and history"--Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel
