MORE PRAISE FOR THE SECOND EDITION
Peter Mayer “Thank you, Ursula Goodenough, for telling us the science-based story of life on earth and the wonders of our universe in a way that brings them down to the level of our hearts, and deeper still, to the very place from where our prayers come.

Bill Mckibben “I am so glad this important book is being revised for our time. It is wise, calm, and compassionate; it treats us as the mature, complex, and fascinating creatures that we are, and in so doing helps point the way towards a future where we act together far better than at present.

Mary Evelyn Tucker: “Goodenough gives us a new bridge between science and religion that is both eloquent and elegant. She offers us the poetry, power, and passion of her vision of nature, a vision born from scientific knowledge, nurtured by religious sensibility, and inspired by nature itself. Such a pathbreaking interdisciplinary work illumines the way for each of us – embracing an ecomorality that is comprehensive and compelling.”

Richard Wrangham: “What a beautiful, lyrical, lively, fascinating and outstanding book. Delightful to read. Awesome achievement.”
