A dazzling, vibrant, vision-changing book. Sentence after sentence
stopped me short. I ended it wonderstruck at the fungal world – the
secrets of which modern science is only now beginning to fathom –
and the earth-shaking, hierarchy-breaking implications of
Sheldrake's argument. A remarkable work by a remarkable writer
