"All life in all worlds" -- this was the object of the author's seventeen-year quest for knowledge and discovery, culminating in this book. In a manner unmistakably his own, Murchie delves into the interconnectedness of all life on the planet and of such fields as biology, geology, sociology, mathematics, and physics. He offers us what the poet May Sarton has called "a good book to take to a desert island as sole companion, so rich is it in knowledge and insight".

This book was in very poor condition with cover and pages badly creased in numerous places.and very badly worn. It was purchased as in good condition. I am disappointed in the claimed description being far from truthful. Merv.

outstanding book...the amount of material covered and the depth at which it is discussed is amazing. If you are the curious reader this book will entertain.
