Crucially, the relations between Buddhism and science, nature and culture, are examined in the fusion of a single vision. The result is a great work of cognitive mapping, both exciting and useful.\"—Kim Stanley Robinson, author of \u003ci\u003eShaman\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e2312\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Mars trilogy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Not only does Morton range from William Wordsworth to the Velvet Underground to Nagasaki to Republican denialism, he does it in a way that marshals these disparate allusions in the service of a cogent idea, one that manages to come off as both intuitive and radical.\"—\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"[This book] is bold, stimulating, and provocative.
