Editor's Note:
Šioje knygoje dr. Merlinas Sheldrake'as leidžiasi į žavingą nuotykį ir tyrinėja fantastišką, keistą ir nuostabų grybų pasaulį: šie beveik visą gyvybę Žemėje palaikantys organizmai niekuomet nepaliauja stebinti. Tai nei augalas, nei gyvūnas, jų randama visame pasaulyje, ore ir mūsų kūnuose. Grybai sprendžia užduotis neturėdami smegenų, gali pribloškiamai taikliai manipuliuoti gyvūnų elgesiu. Davę mums duonos, alkoholinių gėrimų ir gyvybę gelbstinčių vaistų, grybai formavo žmonijos istoriją, o visuomenę nuo pat Antikos laikų stebinusios grybų psichodelinės savybės palengvino nemažai psichikos ligų simptomų. Grybų gebėjimas virškinti plastiką, sprogmenis, pesticidus ir žaliavinę naftą yra pasitelkiamas pažangiausioms technologijoms, o atradus, kad jie jungia augalus požeminiais tinklais, „miško internetu“, pakito ir tai, kaip suvokiame ekosistemas. Tačiau didumą gyvenimo grybai nugyvena slapčiomis, o daugiau nei devyniasdešimt procentų jų rūšių iki šiol nėra aprašyta.„Raizgus gyvenimas“ – tai suvokimą plečianti kelionė į slaptą gyvybės karaliją. Ši knyga parodo, kad be grybų nesuprastume planetos, kurioje gyvename, jie taip pat būtini norint suvokti, kaip mes mąstome, jaučiame ir elgiamės. Kuo daugiau sužinome apie grybus, tuo labiau neįmanomas be jų atrodo gyvenimas.„Nepaprastai puiki!“Margaret Atwood„Aktuali ir reikalinga.“Helen Macdonald„Keičianti matymą.“Robert MacfarlaneDr. Merlin Sheldrake (Merlinas Šeldreikas, gim. 1987) – britų biologas ir rašytojas. Atlikęs tyrimą apie požeminius Panamos atogrąžų miškų grybų tinklus, Kembridžo universitete jis apgynė atogrąžų ekologijos mokslų daktaro laipsnį. „Raizgus gyvenimas“ – jo pirmoji knyga, 2020-2021 m. nominuota daugeliui premijų, tarp kurių: „British Book Awards“, „Royal Society Science Book Prize“, „Goodreads Choice Awards“; 2021 m. ji apdovanota „Wainwright Prize for Global Conservation Writing“ ir kt. premijomis. Sheldrake'o tyrinėjimai apima platų lauką – nuo grybų biologijos iki Amazonijos etnobotanikos istorijos.
