Wilson's most personal book, an evocation of his own response to nature and an eloquent statement of the conservation ethic. Wilson argues that our natural affinity for life - biophilia - is the very essence of our humanity and binds us all to other living species. Such was the power of the biophilia concept that it has spawned a whole movement in the conservation biology field, headed by Stepehen Kellert. In conjunction with Wilson he edited the influential The Biophilia Hypothesis, as well as authoring Kinship to Mastery, and The Value of Life, which further expand on Wilson's ideas.
