SECOND BODY (PB)

Every living thing has two bodies. To be an animal is to be in possession of a physical body, a body which can eat, drink and sleep; it is also to be embedded in a worldwide network of ecosystems. When every human body has an uncanny global presence, how do we live with ourselves? Daisy Hildyard captures the second body by exploring how the human is a part of animal life. The Second Body is a brilliantly lucid account of the dissolving boundaries between all life on earth.
