Octaves cerita

Other levels of intelligence exist beyond our own perceptions-an infinitude in fact-residing above us and below us. They are the trees, and they are the bacteria in the soil. Tiny empires that have thrived on Earth from eons before we ever existed; highly organized communities of organisms that not only have been watching us...but studying us as well. These are the other octaves of intelligence. And this is their story. A humorous tale focused on the limits of humans' innate abilities of comprehension, the resplendent nature of ecology, and a glimpse into the way all of life revolves around this delicate balance of equanimity and cooperation-because each species, sharing the same home called Earth, depend on each other. The world is a woven web of relations. If we can just stretch our perception to embrace these new octaves, then the expanded mind will glimpse something profound....and profane!
