  For many of us, the great scientific discoveries of the modern age—the Big Bang, evolution, quantum physics, relativity—point to an existence that is bleak, devoid of meaning, pointless. But in The Sacred Depths of Nature, eminent biologist Ursula Goodenough shows us that the scientific world view need not be a source of despair. Indeed, it can be a wellspring of solace and hope. 
   
   
   
  This volume reconciles the modern scientific understanding of reality with our timeless spiritual yearnings for reverence and continuity. Looking at topics such as evolution, emotions, sexuality, and death, Goodenough writes with rich, uncluttered detail about the workings of nature in general and of living creatures in particular. Her luminous clarity makes it possible for even non-scientists to appreciate that the origins of life and the universe are no less meaningful because of our increasingly scientific understanding of them. Goodenough's spiritual reflections respond to the complexity of nature with vibrant emotional intensity and a sense of reverent wonder. This new edition offers a deepened consideration of emergent properties and emergent dynamics, as well as an exploration of their role as the generators of life's complexity. Goodenough also expands upon the ethic of ecomorality in a new chapter, and incorporates new quotes, figures, and poems in her analysis.

  Urbanization has been one of the most significant trends of the 21st century, with more than half of the world's population now living in cities. As global populations continue to grow, an increasing number of people are flocking to urban areas, resulting in the development of some of the most densely populated cities on Earth. These megacities, home to millions of individuals, represent both the wonders and the challenges of modern life. The intensity of life in such crowded spaces shapes the experiences of those who live there, from the social fabric to the environment. 
    
  This book explores the experiences of individuals living in the most crowded urban centers, where the pressure of population density influences every aspect of daily life. It aims to examine how these cities manage their growth, deal with the challenges of overcrowding, and provide a glimpse into the lives of those navigating these spaces. The urban centers featured in this book are marked not only by their size but also by the vibrancy and diversity they house. Yet, despite the potential for economic growth and cultural exchange, these cities face significant struggles related to infrastructure, health, safety, and quality of life. 
    
  The history of urban density is also a fascinating tale of human resilience and innovation. From the early days of civilization to the present, cities have been shaped by their environments, political systems, and technological advancements. As cities grow ever more populous, the boundaries of what can be managed are constantly tested, leading to new solutions, as well as failures. The story of overcrowding is not just one of increasing numbers but also of the social, economic, and environmental impacts that come with it.
