Kropotkin [in 1902] wrote that Darwin intimated “the fittest are not the physically strongest, nor the cunningest, but those who learn to combine so as mutually to support each other, strong and weak alike, for the welfare of the community.” (see Review by Elizabeth McGowan)

I read the Amazon sample of this book and enjoyed the preface and first chapter, a marvelous recap of Suzanne Simard's work on communication between trees and other plants. I think we read Simard's Finding the Mother Tree a while back but for somereason it didn't make it into this blog. Now I want to read Sweet in Tooth and Claw but won't finish in time for the meeting. I hope to attend the meeting anyhow because it is always gratifying to hear the impressions of my fellow book club members.
