New York Review of Books - Steve Jones (04/23/1998)
"In the most fascinating passages of CONSILIENCE, Wilson describes concrete examples of how the sorts of knowledge produced by sociologists, philosophers and poets can be 'unified' with biological knowledge."
Efron
"CONSILIENCE is a provocative book, worth reading simply for the opportunity to spend time with one of today's great scientific minds."
