Few books blew my mind like Merlin Sheldrake's Entangled
Life. The research, passion, writing, insights ... Not sure if
I've ever learned so much from ONE book. Here is to another
scientist who celebrates imagination. Essential reading. Go and get
swept up in a new world -- ANDREA WULF, author of The Invention of
Nature
A true masterpiece, a thrilling and fascinating insight into the
living world, beautifully written, entertaining, funny and
inspiring, while representing the science carefully and
responsibly. I hope and trust that it will become an instant
classic -- GEORGE MONBIOT
I fell in love with this book. Merlin is a scientist with the
imagination of a poet and a beautiful writer ... This is a book
that, by virtue of the power of its writing, shifts your sense of
the human ... It will inspire a generation to enter mycology --
MICHAEL POLLAN (Bay Area Book Festival, 2020)
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 --
ROBERT MACFARLANE, author of Underland
