Nature Revealed

Selected Writings, 1949-2006

By: Edward O. Wilson

Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Edward O. Wilson is one of the leading biologists and philosophical thinkers of our time. In this compelling collection, Wilson's observations range from the tiny glands of ants to the nature of the living universe. Many of the pieces are considered landmarks in evolutionary biology, ecology, and behavioral biology. Wilson explores topics as diverse as slavery in ants, the genetic basis of societal structure, the discovery of the taxon cycle, the original formulation of the theory of island biogeography, a critique of subspecies as a unit of classification, and the conservation of life's diversity. Each article is presented in its original form, dating from Wilson's first published article in 1949 to his most recent exploration of the natural world. Preceding each piece is a brief essay by Wilson that explains the context in which the article was written and provides insights into the scientist himself and the debates of the time. This collection enables us to share Wilson's various vantage points and to view the complexities of nature through his eyes. Wilson aficionados, along with readers discovering his work for the first time, will find in this collection a world of beauty, complexity, and challenge.

Mandala

Creating an Authentic Spiritual Path: An Interspiritual Process

By: Edward W. Bastian

Edward Bastian's groundbreaking book, Mandala: Creating an Authentic Spiritual Path: An InterSpiritual Process, provides the reader with a profound tool for constructing and cultivating a personal spiritual path from the world's collective spiritual wisdom, utilizing one's own preferences and learning styles to find the answers to our most profound questions. That is to say, it provides the means, not the answers - those we must find ourselves. Through the Spiritual Paths Mandala one explores one's own archetypal approaches to spirituality, one's own questions about the spiritual path, and finds the practices and traditions that best suit our particular needs. Of it, Dr. Carol S. Pearson, author of The Hero Within and Awakening the Heroes Within, has written: "In Mandala, Dr. Bastian has done for spirituality what I've worked to do with archetypes, developing a system through which anyone-religious or not-can identify his or her own natural mode of assessing spiritual truth. Dr. Bastian's work is a great and important breakthrough, as so many believe they are not spiritual because they do not follow a particular dogma or because the tradition in which they were raised does not fit for them. His work also can be of assistance to those within any spiritual tradition to expand their horizons and to promote respectful interfaith dialogue.
