Yet many of today's toughest problems, from environmental destruction to divisive politics, stem from fundamental disconnections. In \u003ci\u003eIntertwined, \u003c\/i\u003escience writer Michael Gross explains how the natural world can be a powerful reminder of our interdependence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing examples based on recent scientific discoveries across a broad range of ecosystems and species, Gross shares important--and often surprising--stories about the sophisticated web of connections in nature. From plant cooperation to turtle communication, he highlights crucial lessons we can apply to solve complex problems caused by human disturbances to these connections. Gross provides ample evidence of the far-reaching impacts of both natural and anthropogenic phenomena, from coevolution and nutrient cycles to species domestication and extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe live in a complex world endangered by simplistic thinking, as the escalating climate crisis and loss of biodiversity demonstrate. To address these issues, we must recognize the wonder and ubiquity of the self-regulating network that enables life on Earth. These thought-provoking stories from nature illustrate why it is so vital to respect and protect the connections that tie us to our world and each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Gross\u003c\/b\u003e (OXFORD, UK) is a science writer who has published in\u003ci\u003e Current Biology\u003c\/i\u003e and other publications.
