Undermining the principle that nature is governed by eternal laws, A New Science of Life has become a controversial classic since it was first published. Reissued this year, the book has been fully updated, containing a new preface and extensive appendices, including a discussion about the latest experimental tests.

In A New Science of Life, the author, Rupert Sheldrake, argues that phenomena become more probable the more often they occur ñ that nature is habitual. In this way, he says, all animals and plants draw upon and contribute to a collective memory of their species. Crystals and molecules also follow the habits of their kind. Cosmic evolution is therefore made up of an interplay of habit and creativity.

Breaking from a mechanistic view of life, the book opens the reader to incredible potential in our understanding of the universe and our role in it. A New Science of Life is an inspiring read, with ever more to offer an awakening humanity.
