The disconnection between humans and nature is perhaps one of the
most fundamental problems faced by our species today. The schism
between us and the natural world is arguably the root cause of most
of the environmental catastrophes unraveling around us. However,
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 author 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 us--showing that subjectivity and
imagination are prerequisits of biological existence. 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
life-a revolution for biology as groundbreaking as the theory of
relativity for physics. Dr. Andreas Weber is a German academic,
scholar and author. He is a leader in the emerging fields of
"biopoetics" and "biosemiotics," and his work has been translated
into several languages and published around the globe.
