The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth by Edward O. Wilson

2.0

E.O. Wilson is compelling, as ever. But I bought the book for its premise of making a plea to a Baptist minister for science and religion to find common ground in the cause of conservation (and, thus, the obvious link to my current work). Unfortunately, this premise was the weakest part of the book. He couldn't stop justifying and defending his science-based point-of-view long enough to actually address the common ground with religion for more than a few paragraphs, and typically without any tone of actual respect for a Baptist's point-of-view. A disappointment.
