Civilization and the limpet
This book is written in this man's 70 plus years of life, and if it is not worth reading the work of a person that has had 70 plus years of experience I don't know that is.
I found it rather intriguing that another individual cared for other things besides people as much as I do. Though his is life, and mine is form. Though I love life for it represents a form.
Further there were good positions on seeking to study things besides ourselves in part they shed answers to our own mysteries, and they allow us to find the technology of life that would benefit us and harness it for as much, or as little as we would like.
Though I respect some of his positions and formulations as to life and it's value to other life, and life and it's rights to another species. I still think his view is rather shallow. That may be that I see a change between creatures with very high conscious and awareness and those that do not have such skills or gifts.
We are uniquely in the position to help or kill all living species on this planet, as the universe is in that same position with the universe.
Their are many arguments in the text that need to be explored though so that we might have a tomorrow not just a today.
