What a Mushroom Lives For pushes today's mushroom renaissance in compelling new directions. For centuries, Western science has promoted a human- and animal-centric framework of what counts as action, agency, movement, and behavior.

The book tells the fascinating story of one particularly prized species, the matsutake, and the astonishing ways it is silently yet powerfully shaping worlds.

Prototipo del mostro acquatico nell'immaginario occidentale, fonte di ispirazione per filosofi e romanzieri, il Leviatano biblico è il punto di partenza per una indagine originale volta ad analizzare, in un confronto fra tradizioni classiche, ebraiche e cristiane, il sapere degli antichi in merito a draghi e mostri marini. Queste creature fantastiche, che presentano tratti comuni nelle diverse culture di area semitica e mediterranea, rivestono forti significati simbolici, impersonando il caos, l'avversario contro cui lotta la divinità.
