{"product_id":"intelligence-in-nature","title":"Intelligence in Nature - An Inquiry into Knowledge","description":"Continuing the journey begun in his acclaimed book \u003ci\u003eThe Cosmic Serpent\u003c\/i\u003e, the noted anthropologist ventures firsthand into both traditional cultures and the most up-todate discoveries of contemporary science to determine nature's secret ways of knowing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthropologist Jeremy Narby has altered how we understand the Shamanic cultures and traditions that have undergone a worldwide revival in recent years. Now, in one of his most extraordinary journeys, Narby travels the globe-from the Amazon Basin to the Far East-to probe what traditional healers and pioneering researchers understand about the intelligence present in all forms of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntelligence in Nature\u003c\/i\u003e presents overwhelming illustrative evidence that independent intelligence is not unique to humanity alone. Indeed, bacteria, plants, animals, and other forms of nonhuman life display an uncanny penchant for self-deterministic decisions, patterns, and actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNarby presents the first in-depth anthropological study of this concept in the West. He not only uncovers a mysterious thread of intelligent behavior within the natural world but also probes the question of what humanity can learn from nature's economy and knowingness in its own search for a saner and more sustainable way of life.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51229975609632,"sku":"9781585424610","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781585424610.jpg?v=1770849749","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/intelligence-in-nature","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
