Description

A revised and extended version of Quammen’s first book of nonfiction, such as the greatest of his current work. On the offering of good issues “Lively currently talking about character and technology depends less on the offering of good solutions, I believe, than,” stated David Quammen in the initial launch to Organic Functions. For significantly more than 2 decades, he's stuck to that particular credo. In this updated edition of his first essay series, Quammen’s vibrant awareness leads him from New Mexico to Romania, from the Congo to the Amazon, asking questions about mosquitoes (what're their redeeming deserves?), dinosaurs (how did they alter the life span of the dyslexic Vietnam vet?), and cloning (manages to do it conserve endangered species?).
