Change the way you see the world - and our place in it

'Absolutely enthralling' BILL BRYSON
'Stunning' GUARDIAN
'Beautifully written and meticulously researched . . . Vivid and powerful' RICHARD DAWKINS
'The revelations in this book made me rethink the world' CHRIS PACKHAM

From evolution to capitalism, 'survival of the fittest' has shaped our view of the world. But we got it wrong - and our mistake has brought us to the brink.

For the history of life on Earth is much more than a story of competition. The natural world has been forged and sustained by small miracles of co-operation between animals and plants, insects and fungi, fish and bacteria - these partnerships are ubiquitous, lifelong and an essential guide for a better future.

In Togetherness, Rowan Hooper reveals the intimate connectedness of nature through these remarkable stories of symbiosis. From the female wasp venturing deep inside a fig and the intricate relationship between corals and the algae that sustain them to the symbiotic gut microbes that influence our moods, he explores how co-operation is fundamental to life itself and to protecting our shared future.

Togetherness will change the way you see the world, our place in it and our obligation to its hidden wonders.
