Now, in one of his most extraordinary journeys, Narby travels the globe-from the Amazon Basin to the Far East-to probe what traditional healers and pioneering researchers understand about the intelligence present in all forms of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntelligence in Nature\u003c\/i\u003e presents overwhelming illustrative evidence that independent intelligence is not unique to humanity alone. Indeed, bacteria, plants, animals, and other forms of nonhuman life display an uncanny penchant for self-deterministic decisions, patterns, and actions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNarby presents the first in-depth anthropological study of this concept in the West. He not only uncovers a mysterious thread of intelligent behavior within the natural world but also probes the question of what humanity can learn from nature's economy and knowingness in its own search for a saner and more sustainable way of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Narby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarcherperigee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 5.56w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585424610","brand":"Tarcherperigee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42714088931465,"sku":"9781585424610","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_210b607d-c14c-47ae-8406-15296b9c3a15.jpg?v=1719634258","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/intelligence-in-nature-an-inquiry-into-knowledge-9781585424610","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
