Two key books published in July have arrived at Icon House today. Brian Switek’s Written in Stone is the first book on the hunt for evolution’s ‘missing links’ over the last three decades – and what palaeontologists’ findings mean for our place on earth.

Rupert Sheldrake’s The Presence of the Past was originally published in 1988 and has since become a science classic. This revised and updated edition sees Sheldrake propose that all self-organizing systems, from crystals to human societies, inherit a collective memory that influences their form and behaviour. Rather than being ruled by fixed laws, nature is essentially habitual.

Both books are published on 7th July in the UK.
