the unchecked force, is what created us by chance and what could destroy us at any moment.\u003cbr\u003e “Chaos doesn’t care about any of us.\u003cbr\u003e Our dreams, our intentions, our noblest actions.\u003cbr\u003e “Never forget.”\u003cbr\u003e --- p.55\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e David believed that even though Darwin had done away with God, his pursuit was still noble.\u003cbr\u003e He continued his quest for the highest blueprint that would reveal the form of nature's ladder, the way all animals and plants are interconnected and ranked.\u003cbr\u003e (…) David believed that examining the anatomy of fish in detail was a way to discover our true creation story, what experiments in life were necessary to create humans. \u003cbr\u003eSo what he was doing was looking for clues written in the accidental mistakes and successes of other creatures that could potentially help humanity progress further.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are real things in this world.\u003cbr\u003e Things that exist even if we don't name them.\u003cbr\u003e Would a fish care if a taxonomist walked over it, picked it up, and called it a “fish”?\u003cbr\u003e A fish is still a fish, with or without a name… .\u003cbr\u003e --- p.95\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He was looking for clues in the bones and internal organs of the fish.\u003cbr\u003e Clues as to which creatures gave birth to which creatures, clues as to the direction in which life flows, clues as to the experiments necessary to create humans, and perhaps even clues as to the secrets to improving people.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We know very well that the world is a fundamentally cold place. \u003cbr\u003eWe live this way, knowing that no matter how hard we try, success is not guaranteed, that we must compete against hundreds of thousands of others, that we are defenseless against nature, and that everything we love will eventually be destroyed.\u003cbr\u003e But one small lie can round off those sharp edges, help us push through life's trials, and sometimes even lead to unexpected victories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.141~142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This caution, humility, and respect for the complexities of ecology, which are beyond human comprehension, are in fact very ancient.\u003cbr\u003e This is a philosophical concept sometimes called the “dandelion principle.”\u003cbr\u003e In some situations, dandelions are considered a weed to be weeded out, but in others, they are considered a valuable medicinal herb to be cultivated.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.189\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen Darwin came along and exposed the idea of ​​divine plan as a myth, David accepted that the creatures of Earth had come into existence by chance.\u003cbr\u003e But I've been trying to figure out a way to maintain the idea of ​​a hierarchy of perfection.\u003cbr\u003e He said to himself:\u003cbr\u003e It is not God, but time that creates the forms of life.\u003cbr\u003e The slow ticking of time creates more fit, more intelligent, and more morally evolved forms of life.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.204~205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There is never a single way to rank organisms in nature.\u003cbr\u003e To be hung up on one hierarchy is to miss the bigger picture, the intricate truth of nature, of the “total organization of life.” \u003cbr\u003eThe job of good science is to try to see beyond the lines we have “conveniently” drawn in nature, to recognize that every living thing you gaze upon has complexities you will never understand.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is exactly what we have been doing with fish.\u003cbr\u003e They lumped so many subtle differences under the single word “fish.”\u003cbr\u003e --- p.240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I gave up on fish, I finally got what I was looking for all along.\u003cbr\u003e I got the promise that good things were waiting for me.\u003cbr\u003e It's not that I deserve those good things.\u003cbr\u003e It's not because I tried to get it.\u003cbr\u003e Because good things, like destruction and loss, are also part of chaos.\u003cbr\u003e Life on the other side of death.\u003cbr\u003e Growth, the flip side of corruption. \u003cbr\u003eThe best way to never miss those good things, those gifts, those tricks that made me squint my eyes at the desolation and see it more clearly, is to admit, at every moment, that I have no idea what I'm looking at.\u003cbr\u003e In the midst of chaos that comes like a landslide, everything is examined with curiosity and suspicion.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

He scanned the debris of destruction strewn across his feet, picked up any fish he could identify, and then went on to build his collection.\u003cbr\u003e This time, he even introduced an ingenious and innovative method, which he firmly believed would protect the specimens he had discovered against the chaos of the world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen author Lulu Miller first heard this anecdote, she thought Jordan was a fool and saw it as a warning against arrogance or a rejection of the order of life.\u003cbr\u003e Then suddenly, I became curious about Jordan.\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps he was not a reckless person, but a lesson that taught us how to navigate adversity and ultimately overcome it.\u003cbr\u003e What Miller discovered about Jordan's life—including a mysterious death and a startling theory that would change the world—completely reshaped his understanding of the order of the universe.\u003cbr\u003e The idea that salvation may lie in the things we have so-called underestimated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"Fish Doesn't Exist\" offers a prescription for hope that good things await even amidst destruction and loss, encouraging readers to examine all objects amidst chaos with curiosity and skepticism, allowing them to see them more clearly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If fish don't exist, what else are we getting wrong? As the daughter of a scientist, it took me a long time to realize this, but when I give up on fish, I realize science itself is flawed.\u003cbr\u003e I realize that science is not the torch that illuminates the truth, as I always thought, but rather a blunt instrument that can cause a lot of destruction along the way.\u003cbr\u003e Page 267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part biography, part memoir, part scientific adventure, \"There Are No Fish\" offers a whole new way to look at the world through the lens of science. \u003cbr\u003eIn particular, the unique and elaborate illustrations included in each chapter give the book a mysterious yet grotesque feeling, as if holding a 19th-century scientific text in one's hands.\u003cbr\u003e \"Fish Don't Exist,\" which can also be read as a fable about a life that endures steadfastly in a world where chaos always triumphs, will provide an unforgettable experience that stimulates our thoughts and makes us realize the hidden truths of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “I was captivated by Miller’s book, which took us into a strange abyss we had never imagined.” _The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “A truly fascinating book.\u003cbr\u003e Miller's story was so captivating that I read it in one sitting.” _The Wall Street Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “A completely captivating and mesmerizing book.” _The Oprah Magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “A small wonder in the shape of a book.” _The National Book Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “It’s clever. \u003cbr\u003e“A unique and wonderful book!” _Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “This book has the thrill of a mystery novel, but it is also a philosophical commentary on the human quest to create order out of chaos.”\u003cbr\u003e _〈Library Journal〉 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 17, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 pages | 480g | 135*210*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791189327156\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1189327155 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43889879777322,"sku":"112622","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/6cd028eba81f9fa655ab67fba490da17.jpg?v=1765274782","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/112622","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
