SynopsisThe book that launched a movement: "Wilson speaks with a humane eloquence which calls to us all" (Oliver Sacks)., With his usual eloquence, patience, and humor, the Pulitzer Prize-winning entomologist pleads for the salvation of biodiversity, arguing that both secular humanists like himself and believers in God acknowledge the glory of nature and can work together to save it. Illustrated., Called one of the greatest men alive by The Times of London, E. O. Wilson proposes an historic partnership between scientists and religious leaders to preserve Earth s rapidly vanishing biodiversity.", The book that launched a movement: "Wilson speaks with a humane eloquence which calls to us all" (Oliver Sacks), proposing a historic partnership between scientists and religious leaders to preserve Earth's rapidly vanishing biodiversity. "The Creation" is E. O. Wilson's most important work since the publications of "Sociobiology" and "Biophilia," Like Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring," it is a book about the fate of the earth and the survival of our planet. Yet while Carson was specifically concerned with insecticides and the ecological destruction of our natural resources, Wilson, the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner, attempts his new social revolution by bridging the seemingly irreconcilable worlds of fundamentalism and science. Like Carson, Wilson passionately concerned about the state of the world, draws on his own personal experiences and expertise as an entomologist, and prophesies that half the species of plants and animals on Earth could either have gone or at least are fated for early extinction by the end of our present century. Astonishingly, "The Creation" is not a bitter, predictable rant against fundamentalist Christians or deniers of Darwin. Rather, Wilson, a leading "secular humanist," draws upon his own rich background as a boy in Alabama who "took the waters," and seeks not to condemn this new generations of Christians but to address them on their own terms. Conceiving the book as an extended letter to a southern Baptist minister, Wilson, in stirring language that can evoke Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail," tells this everyman minister how, in fact, the world really came to be. He pleads with these men of the cloth to understand the cataclysmicdamage that is destroying our planet and asks for their help in preventing the destruction of our Earth before it is too late. Never a pessimist, Wilson avers that there are solutions that may yet save the planet, and believes that the vision that he presents in "The Creation" is one that both scientists and pastors can accept, and work on together in spite of their fundamental ideological differences., Called "one of the greatest men alive" by The Times of London , E. O. Wilson proposes an historic partnership between scientists and religious leaders to preserve Earth's rapidly vanishing biodiversity. E. O. Wilson has written more than twenty books and has received more than one hundred awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes and the National Medal of Science. He lives in Lexington, Massachusetts., Called "one of the greatest men alive" by The Times of London, E. O. Wilson proposes an historic partnership between scientists and religious leaders to preserve Earth's rapidly vanishing biodiversity.
