The Symbiotic Earth Study Guide by Dorion Sagan and John Feldman is both a companion piece for the documentary Symbiotic Earth and a primer and resource guide for the “new biology.” It includes synopses of each of the film’s essays, questions for discussion and reflection, an Extended Glossary, and a comprehensive reading list with many hotlinks. The Guide will be especially helpful for both secondary schools and college/university courses. The guide is available as a free PDF download (below) and a hardcopy book.

Lynn Margulis was very particular about words and the way words shape our thinking. The Glossary is a journey into the ideas of Lynn Margulis and the revolution in science that she championed.  Written by Dorion Sagan it is engaging and full of personal and biographical insights.
