The Ghosts of Evolution: Nonsensical Fruit, Missing Partners and Other Ecological Anachronismsby: Connie Barlow February 28, 2002 |
||
|
Follow Connie Barlow's lead. Next time you're at the grocer's, spend some time in the fruits and veggie section. Pick up an avocado, hefting it in your hand. You can feel the weight of that huge seed within. Compare it with the nearby oranges or apples. Mum warned you not to swallow the seeds when you were a child, remember? Trees would sprout in your tummy. No worries about trying to swallow that avocado seed, is there? While you're squeezing that avocado, think back on autumn skies sparkling with maple or sycamore seeds fluttering in the chill winds. Why the absurd difference in size? Is it important? Connie Barlow thinks these differences are very important. As she reminds us, all those fruits have been around since long before ... Read More: >>More Details |

Evolution Extended: Biological Debates on the Meaning of Lifefrom: MIT Press June 01, 1994 |
||
|
Barlow has set herself a momentous task. Sifting through a wealth of publications on evolution to distill out the significant works dealing with social issues. Her choices necessarily reflect a broad range of opinions, scientifically sound and otherwise. She's to be commended for providing the reader with a series of starting points to pursue in gaining a better understanding of the chosen topics. As she admits, compiling her earlier collection of works relating to Lovelock's Gaia thesis led her to investigate the impact of biology on philosophical thinking. This volume is the result. In it, she deals with such matters as evolution as a "progressive" force, evolution and "strife," and, of course, the relation of evolution to human morals and ... Read More:

Green Space, Green Time: The Way of Scienceby: Connie Barlow October 21, 1997 |
||
|
Connie Barlow's Green Space, Green Time is a testimonial to the emerging bridge between science and religion. Writing primarily from the perspective of biology and ecology, Barlow predicts that a New Age religion is now in the process of forming, and that its underlying tenets will be the wonderful discoveries about evolution and ecology which science has provided. She acknowledges that previously science has not really provided an image of the meaningfulness of human life within the greater cosmos, and this has been a shortcoming. Humanity needs a story in order to achieve integration, to feed the human spirit. What better story, she asks, than the one which science provides us about where we all come from and why we (all beings) ... Read More:

From Gaia to Selfish Genes: Selected Writings in the Life Sciencesby: Connie Barlow June 28, 1991 |
||
|
Few scientific ideas have gained as much interest and acclaim as James Lovelock's suggestion of Gaia - the entire Earth views as a single organism. Connie Barlow's own reaction is as good an example as any, stating she could return to a childhood feeling of "science as nature which had been utterly quenched by schooling in science as facts." That dichotomy is the theme of this fine collection of essays - is the Gaia thesis viable, or has "science as fact" overthrown it? Barlow has assembled a strong group of authors to present for us to help in forming our own judgments. Even better, the list of works she draws from or points to allow each of us to delve into the subjects with open eyes, and, one hopes, open minds. The title of the book imparts ...
