Now, in one of his most extraordinary journeys, Narby travels the globe-from the Amazon Basin to the Far East-to probe what traditional healers and pioneering researchers understand about the intelligence present in all forms of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntelligence in Nature\u003c\/i\u003e 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 self-deterministic decisions, patterns, and actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNarby presents the first in-depth 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 nature's economy and knowingness in its own search for a saner and more sustainable way of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram Book Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48255529844908,"sku":"bki9781585424610","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2086\/1263\/files\/9781585424610_337f58a2-c543-4b77-9daf-dc15799aca1a.jpg?v=1794142837","url":"https:\/\/www.shamansmarket.com\/en-gb\/products\/intelligence-in-nature-an-inquiry-into-knowledge","provider":"Shamans Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
