🍄 Entangled Life (The Illustrated Edition): How Fungi Make Our Worlds by Merlin Sheldrake

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

“Fungi might make mushrooms, but first they must unmake something else.”

In the first edition of this book, Sheldrake introduced us to this mysterious but massively diverse kingdom of life: fungi. This exquisitely designed volume, abridged from the original, features more than one hundred full-color images that bring the spectacular variety, strangeness, and beauty of fungi to life as never before.

“Entangled Life” really does its title justice by sharing with its audience how entangled our lives really are with fungi and other organisms around us. They’re in our food, drinks, body, fungi are just about everywhere. Lichens are partly made by fungi. Medicine can be made from fungi. Merlin Sheldrake opens the world up to our awaiting minds, sharing so much knowledge and giving us a look at this sometimes microscopic world.

Reading this book was spectacular, and I the images within really added to the information being shared.

“Whether in forests, labs or kitchens, fungi have changed my understanding of how life happens. These organisms make questions of our categories and thinking about them make the world look different.”

Science isn’t an exercise in cold-blooded rationality. Scientists are—and have always been—emotional, creative, intuitive, whole human beings, asking questions about a world that was never made to be catalogued and systematized.

MERLIN SHELDRAKE AND COSMO SHELDRAKE ARE BROTHERS?????????

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS!!!!!!

[derbytheboop]

My current odd media compass,

Hoping to add to it soon

Merlin sheldrakes entangled life is in the top right corner because the author is acting as an enlightened perspective guiding the reader, and because the nonsense happening has some kind of explanation behind it

Wtnv is in the bottom right corner because cecil is an enlightened individual sharing information, and because to the best of my knowledge, things are happening for NO reason

Piranessi is in the left middle because there are aspects of the nonsense left unexplained as well as some that are, despite the fact that piranesi is explaining things to us, he finds things out as we do so it counts as unguided

I might overcomplecate things by making it one of those black hole gravity charts but for now this is good
