What They're Saying
Critics Review
”…you’ll see nature – and evolution – in an entirely new light.”
“Simon G. Powell forcefully but gently demonstrates that intelligence (modes of being that acquire information, learn, and meaningfully respond to larger contexts) is intrinsic to our natural world. People who deny the intelligence of the living (microbes, plants, other animals) are abysmally, indeed dangerously, ignorant. They literally ignore our ultimate, planetwide sources of joy, air, water, food, and energy. Read this informative, science-packed, yet accessible book and enjoy its wisdom.” * Lynn Margulis, author of Symbiotic Planet, member of National Academy of Sciences, and professor at *
“By working with nature’s creative and innovative powers instead of against them, we can address today’s social and environmental challenges with a new green science of evolution.” * Gaia Media Group, January 2012 *
“…you’ll see nature — and evolution — in an entirely new light.” * Brita Belli, E Magazine *
“So why is this book important? Because in this age of ecological crisis, we need to understand how nature works…By understanding the system of natural intelligence accessibly laid out by Simon Powell, we can better understand how to work with nature and address current and future environmental challenges head on. A fascinating and profound read that will change the way you look at the world around you.” * Merikah Robertson, Common Ground Magazine *
“Important, clever, disturbing, and profound. In Darwin’s Unfinished Business, Simon G. Powell makes a major contribution to the emerging new paradigm of reality.” * Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods and Supernatural *
“A treasure trove of interesting material.” * Edward Goldsmith, eco-author and founder of The Ecologist *
