Seller's Description:
New. No dust jacket. 172 p. An unorthodox and intriguing reassessment of the evolution of life on Earth, putting forth ideas on an "ecosystem theory of evolution". Ecosystem evolution is considered in this book as a goal-directed process, aimed at sustainability. The book casts new light on the mechanisms of ecosystem development which preconceives and parallels the development of human personality, or egosystem. The author, a specialist in palaeobotany, evolution and nature conservation at the Russian Academy of Sciences, draws on examples from ancient and modern literature in presenting his arguments. "I definitely recommend this book to all critically oriented readers. It makes us think, and that is good. " Professor Alexey M. Ghilarov, TREE, vol. 11 (5): 227.
