In reply to inquisitivebiologist.

yeah, I’m eager to read whatever book she publishes next. I also read/reviewed her book on the biology of ethical progress, a brilliant read too.

Even since I’ve read a chapter in a book of R. Powell on insect consciousness, I’ve been eager for her announced book to be published: “Alien Minds: Invertebrate Intelligence and the Evolutionary Meaning of Life”. It’s in progress and co-written with Irina Mikhalevich, but I have no idea when it will be published, her site hasn’t been update in some time, and she should have published a book about genetic engineering in 2022 according to her bio too, and that hasn’t happened either.

Anyhow, it will be interesting to read your next review, and read one of these bee books while waiting.
