'What a pleasure to read this book, which integrates biosemiotics into a wider argument about the material basis for human sociality. What struck me the is the political dimension which Wheeler brings to my work. When I began developing biosemiotics my old political friends didn't appreciate it because they didn't see how it connected to other issues. I was therefore extraordinarily pleased to see her drawing social consequences which I had had in mind from the outset. I am grateful to her for seeing that.' Jesper Hoffmeyer This book provides some really useful pathways to an important truth - that culture is natural. That obvious fact has been amazingly obscured of late by fashionable doctrines, and by the walls that now divide different learned specialities from each other. Wendy Wheeler helps us to break through these barriers and to see that we are indeed Whole Creatures. Mary Midgley
