Being Connected helps re-establish your intimate connection with nature through a series of remarkable stories and photographs. Find out how dolphins give each other names, how elephants display emotion, and how bees make medicines to treat disease. Learn how trees use fungi to send electrical signals and warn of danger. Share in the creativity of nature, including the masterful work of small fish as they build intricate mandalas on the ocean floor, or how seals navigate by looking to the stars. Over 150 photographs and images help capture the beauty and creative intelligence in nature.
Being Connected explores nature's amazing talents, such as quorum sensing, mutualism, structuring principles in design, and magnetoreception for navigation. We are part of nature, and therefore each chapter concludes by exploring how humankind may better employ nature’s specific talents to help improve our outcomes and live in greater harmony with her.
