132 – The organization of the biosphere

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Fred Spier, a retired senior lecturer in big history at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We discuss his recent book,  How the Biosphere Works (2022).

Fred was previously on the podcast back in episode 113 , titled The Future of Humanity. Listeners may also recall that the topic of ‘big history’ was discussed recently in our episode 127. Learn more about Dr. Spier and his work at his website (www.fredspier.com).
