From the rich underbrush, to the murky ocean depths, to the human body itself, Hooper uncovers the poetry of life's greatest collaborations. The female wasp venturing deep inside a fig to pollinate the fruit and lay her egg; the intricate relationship between corals and the algae that sustain them; the symbiotic gut microbes that influence our moods. These are just a few of the intimate negotiations that animate and connect all living things. But, as Hooper explains, they also provide a guide to a more sustainable future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDazzlingly clever and suffused with awe, \u003ci\u003eTogetherness\u003c\/i\u003e will change the way you see the world, our place in it, and our obligation to its hidden wonders.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eROWAN HOOPER is podcast editor at \u003ci\u003eNew Scientist\u003c\/i\u003e and host of the \u003ci\u003eNew Scientist Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e podcast.
