Description
A gripping investigation that opens up fresh perspectives on biology and anthropology to deliver an inspiring manifesto for unprejudiced scientific inquiry
Books such as Narby's are at the cutting edge of contemporary thought . . . [The Cosmic Serpent] ought to be something of an intellectual cause celebre
A thoroughly enjoyable read
Highly enjoyable, convincing and well illustrated
A Copernican revolution for the life sciences
An intriguing detective story, wondrous visions and a wealth of fascinating information on genetic science, shamanism, etc., and he also offers some valuable thoughts on the parochial smallness of official science, but, overall, his book's greatest value, perhaps, is as a case study in the excesses of scholarship gone astray
Jeremy Narby studied history at the University of Canterbury and received a PhD in anthropology from Stanford University. For two years he lived with the Ashaninca Indians in the Peruvian Amazon, studying their methods of using the rainforest's resources. He lives in Switzerland with his wife and children.
