Dr. Wilson has made a second career for himself over the past 10 years or so authoring several works that are written in language and terms that allow them to be easily accessible and comprehended by a wide range of readers in the public space.
Again, he has come out with a reasoned appeal and explanation for embracing the human condition within the scope of natural phenomena.
I'd give this 5 stars, but it left me wanting more. Fortunately he provides a bibliography of additional reading materials that look to be well worth the time to seek them out (I've had one of them in my possession for probably over 20 years but have never read it... "The Discoverers" by Daniel Boorstin.)
