Summary: Optimism via science and philosophy
Comment: This is a fine example of intelligent but accessible writing in which science, philosophy and theory combine to inspire hope. Dr. Skutch has studied aggression and behavior of avian species,and he has witnessed a great deal of destruction in Meso-America. Amazingly, he is able to use his experience to illustrate a path for harmony in contemporary society. I may not agree with every detail, but his overall concepts and optimistic viewpoint are compelling and worthy of serious study by anyone concerned with our planet's future.

Summary: Scholarly, involving, insightful, informative analysis.
Comment: Dana Gardner illustrates this survey by ornithologist Skutch, who here provides a general science guide arguing that principles of increasing harmony drive the living world. From biological concepts of how evolution proceeds despite paradoxes to issues of preserving biodiversity and understanding compatibility, Harmony And Conflict In The Living World provides a scholarly, involving analysis of concepts of nature, exploitation and conflict.
