"Entangled Life - How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures," written by Merlin Sheldrake and published in 2020, is a New York Times #1 bestseller in nonfiction. Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They are metabolic masters, earth makers, and key players in most of life’s processes. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disaster. By examining fungi on their own terms, Sheldrake reveals how these extraordinary organisms—and our relationships with them—are changing our understanding of how life works.
Book selections and conversations are geared toward adults.
