    A New Look at an Old Subject
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2012*

For those of us with endless curiosity and persistence, Bernd Heinrich always offers, without striving, a fresh and original way of looking at the world. He roots his biology in the growing revelation of connectedness among all living things, and in this book, uses vultures, dung beetles, sawdust, and hummingbird moths, among many other things, to show that our world, chemically speaking, depends upon the reuse and transformation of once-living tissue in order to survive. Nothing is wasted, nothing is lost, and in this process, our planet has survived and evolved over millennia.Read this book and, true, you'll never again look on death in quite the same way. But more interestingly, you'll never again look on life in the same way either. Take insect metamorphosis - that transformation of various (but as Heinrich points out, by no means all) insect families. Many of us, having learned long ago about these "stages" of development, may be tempted to say, "Ho-hum, caterpillar to butterfly again."But no. Here is something new. And along the way to deeper understanding of this familiar biological process, Heinrich reminds us of ancient myths of human metamorphosis, which we so easily tend to dismiss as superstition. Suddenly these antiquated attempts at unraveling a mystery show themselves as metaphors, hints at a world we are just now beginning to explore. How brilliant of biologists and chemists to look beneath the surface, to wonder just how pupa turns into imago! It seems that the best of humans have always had a kind of Ariadne thread to the truth, and over the eons, learned to observe well and not to be afraid when they didn't understand what they were seeing.This is as good an answer to anti-evolutionist arguments as I can think of: Just because we, as individuals, do not understand something, does not mean that we, alone and together, cannot and someday will not understand. We may never unravel life entirely, but the journey for each of us, however long or short it lasts, will be unutterably rewarding.Start with Heinrich. And as a bonus, one of the best gifts of this book is a full, rich bibliography, so we can go on exploring.

    A good read but more review of the literature on some subjects could have improved
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2018*

Like all Bernd books, I very much enjoyed this effort.  While the subjects were a bit eclectic the story lines of certain death processors (such as the dung beetles) was fascinating.  A great read while camping in the Maine woods as it gives one a chance to pause and consider nature more deeply.  Probably the most depressing feature is the fact we don't recycle the organic matter of humans in our culture though it is easy to understand indiscriminate  placement of carcasses can lead to the spread of some disease and other less desirable realities.  The work of the Compost School affiliated with University of Maine Cooperative Extension and many Maine State Agencies with using compost as a way to treat and contain some undesirable characteristics of disintegration of large animals could have added to the story line and created some more relevant and timely insight into the present situation of "recycling" animals.
