It's a tour de force that takes us on a synergy-guided tour of the history of life. As Corning puts it, \"life on Earth has been a synergistic phenomenon from the get go.\" Corning also shows how synergy has been a key to human evolution, including the rise of complex modern societies. \"Cooperation may have been the vehicle, but synergy was the driver.\" As we now face a tipping point and another major transition in evolution, Corning offers us a synergy-based road-map to the future. \"One of the great take-home lessons from the epic of evolution is that cooperation produces synergy, and synergy is the way forward. The arc of evolution bends toward synergy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 29, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47660068339933,"sku":"9789813230934","price":136.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/bjJReUszbWxUOGF4Tmc3dHZjUVpxZz09_9863350b-945b-481a-ad8b-ddb6ab01f776.webp?v=1773906864","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/synergistic-selection-how-cooperation-has-shaped-evolution-and-the-rise-of-humankind-hardcover-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
