Запутанная жизнь book cover
Запутанная жизнь
Как грибы меняют мир, наше сознание и наше будущее
Merlin Sheldrake - 2020-05-12
Рейтинг Goodreads
Под словом «гриб» мы обыкновенно имеем в виду плодовое тело гриба, хотя оно по сути то же, что яблоко на дереве. Большинство грибов живут тайной – подземной – жизнью, и они составляют «разношерстную» группу организмов, которая поддерживает почти все прочие живые системы. Это ключ к пониманию планеты, на которой мы живем, а также наших чувств, мыслей и поведения. Талантливый молодой биолог Мерлин Шелдрейк переворачивает мир с ног на голову: он приглашает читателя взглянуть на него с позиции дрожжей, псилоцибиновых грибов, грибов-паразитов и паутины мицелия, которая простирается на многие километры под поверхностью земли (что делает грибы самыми большими живыми организмами на планете). Открывающаяся грибная сущность заставляет пересмотреть наши взгляды на индивидуальность и разум, ведь грибы, как выясняется, – повелители метаболизма, создатели почв и ключевые игроки во множестве естественных процессов. Они способны изменять наше сознание, врачевать тела и даже обратить нависшую над нами экологическую катастрофу. Эти организмы переворачивают наше понимание самой жизни на Земле.
