Title: A Short View of a Long Idea
Review: An interesting book in the light it sheds on Dune. You can read the entire Dune series a number of times and get so caught up in the political/religious/sexual etc. themes that you can miss the larger point he begins to make as the story progresses, which is that ecology, when taken to its logical conclusion and extended beyond its customary limits of flora/fauna systems, is the ultimate science, uniting hard and soft disciplines from physics to economics to religion by studying their interactions.Not a fantastic book by any stretch, but still really interesting, and essential if you want to really understand Herbert and Dune. Completely worth 7 bucks and an afternoon of your time. It will make the Dune series more meaningful.Rob Darling
