The New Biology: Discovering the Wisdom in Nature

Not Darwinism, Not Creationism, but a New Biology The New Biology presents a new synthetic view of the origin and nature of living things based on 20th century science. Collecting an amazing array of scientific findings and philosophical arguments about nature, the authors not only gibe a new view of the origins of living things but also present a well crafted picture of the whole of nature. The authors dare to ask, "What is Life?" and find from observation that life is beautiful, orderly, purposeful, hierarchical, harmonious, and cooperative. Ultimately, life is the capacity for self motion and the origin of life is from an artistic creator who plays variations on a theme. Praise for the New Biology "A fine book, very well written and fully documented. Highly recommended to the wide audiencce of all thinking people." -- Sir John Eccles, Nobel laureate "After half a century from the statement of the synthetic theory of evolution, a renewed synthesis was badly needed. The New Biology nicely fulfills this task, providing a new consistent picture of both the course and mechanism of evolution, together with an edifying scenario, which replaces the Darwinian cruelty of nature with her wisdom. -- Giuseeppe Sermonti, Biology Forum.
