Now, in one of his most extraordinary journeys, Narby travels the globefrom the Amazon Basin to the Far Eastto probe what traditional healers and pioneering researchers understand about the intelligence present in all forms of life.Intelligence in Nature presents overwhelming illustrative evidence that independent intelligence is not unique to humanity alone. Indeed, bacteria, plants, animals, and other forms of nonhuman life display an uncanny penchant for selfdeterministic decisions, patterns, and actions.Narby presents the first indepth anthropological study of this concept in the West. He not only uncovers a mysterious thread of intelligent behavior within the natural world but also probes the question of what humanity can learn from natures economy and knowingness in its own search for a saner and more sustainable way of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TarcherPerigee","offers":[{"title":"Narby, Jeremy \/ paperback","offer_id":47846108725493,"sku":"SONG1585424617","price":12.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/61h3rNmMGZL.jpg?v=1773831633","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/intelligence-in-nature-an-inquiry-into-knowledge","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
