La conscience de la nature

Animals often manifest extraordinary behaviours: some have remarkable orientation abilities; others seem to sense future events, or even guess our intentions ... Instinct, or sixth sense? And as for the plant kingdom, are plants as inanimate as we assume? Could nature be a vast zone of sentience; a conscious space, filled with minds? This is certainly what those who claim to speak to animals and to be able to "perceive" their responses would have us believe -- not just Amazonian shamans, but also utterly rational Westerners. Based on numerous testimonies and expert opinions, this extraordinary study of the frontiers of what constitutes life offers us a new understanding of the connection between man and nature, and proposes a new and better way to view the world.
