Wilson's Diversity of Life is that Homo sapiens is in imminent danger of precipitating a biological disaster to rival anything in evolutionary history. Two decades ago he popularized the term 'sociobiology, ' and generated a small industry of speculation about the biological basis of human nature. (David Papineau New York Times Book Review). “[Wilson’s] passion for the beauty and mystery of nature, coupled with his adherence to scientific method and his unsurpassed professional standing, give the work the possibility of being the most important environmental book since Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring." (Charles A. Radin, The Boston Globe).; 8vo .
