They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us avoid environmental disaster; they are metabolic masters, earth-makers, and key players in most of nature's processes. In Entangled Life, Merlin Sheldrake takes us on a mind-altering journey into their spectacular world and reveals how these extraordinary organisms transform our understanding of our planet and life itself.
