In A Natural History of the Future, biologist Rob Dunn argues that such efforts are futile. We may see ourselves as life's overlords, but we are instead at its mercy. In the evolution of antibiotic resistance, the power of natural selection to create biodiversity, and even the surprising life of the London Underground, Dunn finds laws of life that no human activity can annul. When we create artificial islands of crops, dump toxic waste, or build communities, we provide new materials for old laws to shape. Life's future flourishing is not in question. Ours is.A Natural History of the Future sets a new standard for understanding the diversity and destiny of life itself.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 194mmItem Length: 128mmItem Width: 28mmItem Weight: 220gAuthor: Rob DunnGenre: Science Nature & MathTopic: Home Garden & PetsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
