The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge
Autor Jeremy Narby, Jeremy Nanbyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 1999 – vârsta de la 18 ani
This adventure in science and imagination, which the Medical Tribune said might herald "a Copernican revolution for the life sciences," leads the reader through unexplored jungles and uncharted aspects of mind to the heart of knowledge. In a first-person narrative of scientific discovery that opens new perspectives on biology, anthropology, and the limits of rationalism, The Cosmic Serpent reveals how startlingly different the world around us appears when we open our minds to it.
