A Reenchanted World
The Quest for a New Kinship with Nature
James William Gibson
Metropolitan Books
A Reenchanted World
reveals the many ways in which our self-imposed exile from our original network of natural relationships is civilization’s most disorienting misstep. Fortunately for us, James William Gibson gives us a compass back to that very sane, very grounded place. This is a wisely haunting, soulful book.”—

Earth in the Balance
Ecology and the Human Spirit
Al Gore
Rodale Books
"This obviously isn't a standard politician's book, tossed off in a few weekends with aides doing most of the work and the famous man's name slapped on the cover. This is Gore's book, cover to cover, not only from the personal anecdotes and wide-ranging travel experiences he brings to the political and scientific aspects of global environmental problems, but also from the historical, philosophical, religious, spiritual, economic and moral dimensions he explores."—

Charles and Emma
The Darwins' Leap of Faith
Deborah Heiligman
Henry Holt and Co.
"In this courtship and marriage biography, the author examines an unlikely but powerful bond between cousins, the
Origins of the Species
scientist and the religious devotee love of his life. Beginning with Darwin's 'to marry or not to marry' pro/con lists through Emma editing Charles' autobiography so that it would be less 'offensive,' the couple provided for each other sounding board, respected opposition, and beloved soulmate . . . The volume provides a unique blend of romance, scientific observations, explanations of medical practices prevalent in the early-nineteenth century, and opportunities to examine scientific discoveries and religious beliefs in detail."—

Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation
The Definitive Guide to the Evolutionary Biology of Sex
Olivia Judson
A Metropolitan/Holt Paperbacks Book
"
Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation
is a thoroughly engaging and exhaustively researched account of the numerous different kinds of sexual behavior that biologists have observed in the natural world. By human standards, much of this behavior is quite kinky (my favorite is the description of blow hole sex among Amazon River dolphins). However, as Olivia Judson explains, it is quite natural within its own context."—

Biological Constraints on the Human Spirit

"It is rare to find an author with a depth of knowledge in both the biological and social sciences, combined with superb writing skills sufficient to provide readers with a breathtaking new understanding of human behavior. Mel Konner did that twenty years ago in the first edition of

The updated and revised edition of this book is an even greater achievement . . .
