The dynamics of how plants and animals change Earth is central to this last book in a trilogy by Other Minds author and 'scuba-diving philosopher' Peter Godfrey-Smith.
In 2016, Peter Godfrey-Smith unexpectedly landed a bestseller with 'Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life'. It was widely acclaimed for its insight into the consciousness of a relatively alien life form, and was given color and character by Godfrey-Smith’s regular encounters with cephalopods off the beaches of his Sydney home – which explains why he is often billed as the 'scuba-diving philosopher'.
