I have bought this book in the italian translation. It’s a very interesting book, as always books by Edward O. Wilson are.
I always remember the first book I read by Wilson, “Biofilia”. It was about 25 years ago: I was still living in Gallipoli;Internet wasn’t yet available, buying books was a very challenging experience. I was always dreaming to have a travel to Lecce, or Rome, to visit a big bookstore. In Gallipoli there was the “Libreria Nostradamus”; it was very small, so it was a great surprise to find this book that was listed in “Le Scienze” as a very good book. So I spent about a month reading it, very slowly and smelling its flavour page by page.
Old times… now everything is fast, some times I’m not able to read slow and thinking and retaining every concept. But with this book “The diversity of life” I have to force myself: switch off the computer and read, read, read!
