Change the way you see the world and our place in it with Togetherness: Symbiosis and the Hidden Story of Life’s Greatest Collaborati by Rowan Hooper. This meticulously researched book challenges the long-held view that 'survival of the fittest' through competition defines life on Earth. Instead, Hooper reveals how the natural world has been forged and sustained by ubiquitous, lifelong miracles of co-operation between diverse organisms.
