A key, critical figure in contemporary biology, a giant in scientific thought, and an author of revolutionary studies alongside hundreds of original works, Professor Antonio Lima-de-Faria leaves us his scientific testament while approaching his 100th year of life. As a "lonely wolf howling in the immensity of the night," he launches his straightforward warning. His message is for those who have ears to hear in a world where "there is no place for the meek." “At present a wave of obscurantism is spreading over Western countries affecting both science and art in a deadly way.” “Modern technology has been most successful in transforming our daily lives and in allowing us to conquer outer space. These impressive achievements have, to a large extent, made us dumb, making it difficult to perceive the danger that lies ahead. Hence, there is a pressing need to bring forward the original sources in which, leading scientists and renowned artists, explained the principles that they followed in their discovery of novel phenomena and in the creation of unique works of art. It turns out that both types of minds speak the same language. There is a basic denominator that unites the human endeavor.”
