Why read it?
2 authors picked Symbiotic Planet as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Provocative, interesting, well-written, original, educational for science, shows importance of symbiosis in evolution.
This book presents the fascinating, radical view that symbiosis is crucial in evolution and common and central to it. I am fascinated by symbiosis. This book influenced my theory that all species increase biodiversity, the theory about which I wrote the two books I am featuring here. This book, by one of the two originators of the Gaia Hypothesis, educates the reader on the importance of symbiosis in evolution, which, in my view, is a major mechanism of evolution. It tells how our cells were built by symbiosis.
From David's list on evolution, ecology, and biodiversity.
