  Published
2006
  
  The book that launched a movement: “Wilson speaks with a humane eloquence which calls to us
all” (Oliver Sacks).
  
  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.

  From Publishers Weekly
  
  Starred Review. With his
usual eloquence, patience and humor, Wilson, our modern-day Thoreau, adds his thoughts to the ongoing conversation
between science and religion. Couched in the form of letters to a Southern Baptist pastor, 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. The "depth and complexity
of living Nature still exceeds human imagination," he asserts (somewhere between 1.5 million and 1.8 million species of
plants, animals and microorganisms have been discovered to date), and most of the world around us remains unknowable, as
does God. Each species functions as a self-contained universe with its own evolutionary history, its own genetic
structure and its own ecological role. Human life is tangled inextricably in this intricate and fragile web.
Understanding these small universes, Wilson says, can foster human life. Wilson convincingly demonstrates that such rich
diversity offers a compelling moral argument from biology for preserving the "Creation." Wilson passionately leads us by
the hand into an amazing and abundantly diverse natural order, singing its wonders and its beauty and captivating our
hearts and imaginations with nature's mysterious ways. 25 illus. (Sept.)

  From Booklist
  
  Famed
entomologist, humanist thinker, and cogent writer Wilson issues a forthright call for unity between religion and science
in order to save the "creation," or living nature, which is in "deep trouble." Addressing his commonsensical yet ardent
discourse to "Dear Pastor," he asks why religious leaders haven't made protecting the creation part of their mission.
Forget about life's origins, Wilson suggests, and focus on the fact that while nature achieves "sustainability through
complexity," human activities are driving myriad species into extinction, thus depleting the biosphere and jeopardizing
civilization. Wilson celebrates individual species, each a "masterpiece of biology," and acutely analyzes the nexus
between nature and the human psyche. In the book's frankest passages, he neatly refutes fantasies about humanity's
ability to re-create nature's intricate web, and deplores the use of religious belief (God will take care of it) as an
impediment to conservation. Wilson's eloquent defense of nature, insights into our resistance to environmental
preservation, and praise of scientific inquiry coalesce in a blueprint for a renaissance in biology reminiscent of the
technological advances engendered by the space race.
