The diversity of life

I read this book many years when I was a biology student I feel amazed by Wilson's simplicity and wonderfulness in his writing style. Edward Wilson, is as a good as a scientist as a writer and storyteller. I'm rereading this book again after so many years and I liked so much and I already ordered his most recent book - [b:The Future Of Life|183829|The Future Of Life|Edward O. Wilson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172521099s/183829.jpg|1757283] . Besides Stephen Jay Gould or Richard Dawkins, there couldn't much better...

This is an excellent overview of the importance of biodiversity. Wilson is an excellent writer. He is able to convey large amounts of information with both clarity and style.

On finishing this book, I regretted having dropped my biology degree for cultural anthropology. Wilson makes saving the world's biological heritage species by species seem exciting and chalanging.
