EDC Book Club: Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake

February 19 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST

Join the EDC Book Club this month for a discussion of Merlin Sheldrake’s Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds, & Shape Our Futures. Join EDC curator Anand Pandian and poet and essayist Lia Purpura for a chat about this evocative and captivating book.

“Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They are metabolic masters, earth makers, and key players in most of life’s processes. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disaster. By examining fungi on their own terms, Sheldrake reveals how these extraordinary organisms—and our relationships with them—are changing our understanding of how life works.”

  1. Sorry I keep missing these events I’d like to join! Seeing there’s a calendar function, I might be able to save for notifications next time…
    Just a question to the book club in general: are people acquiring their own book copies, or is there an, uh, database for digital ones, too?
