{"product_id":"forgotten-teachers","title":"The Forgotten Teachers","description":"\u003cb\u003eInterweaving science and storytelling, spirituality and art, a neuroscientist and an artist guide us toward a deeper understanding of how radically interconnected all of life is.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Starting from science, while reaching for spiritual truth, \u003ci\u003eThe Forgotten Teachers\u003c\/i\u003e charts the evolution of life on Earth under the mentorship of six teachers: Ocean, Air, Theia (through collision with this planet, Earth was set on its tilt), Sun, Plants, and Symbionts. Ideas from the field of evolutionary biology, accompanied by watercolor illustrations, guide this factual yet mytho-poetic exploration of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Motivated by their shared concern over the severance of science from the sacred, and humans from their place within nature, Isett and Biçen set out to write a scientific wonder story for our times—to enchant readers with the strangeness and beauty of evolutionary biology, while reintegrating us into the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As Rachel Carson did in her time and as Wendell Berry has done as a poet and essayist across the years, Isett writes with precision and urgency to remind us that we participate in a story that is far larger than ourselves, and that to see ourselves more truly would be to see the many ways in which we belong to the molecules and mysteries of the living world.","brand":"ABRAMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664958165028,"sku":"9781592704118","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781592704118.jpg?v=1777349410","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/forgotten-teachers","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
