Additional reviews that were published in Nature and Science

Not sure how these could be added, or if they even need to be, but I've found two additional glowing reviews of the book that were published in and Nature (journal) and Science (journal).

At first glance, both of them seem to be behind a paywall but fortunately the review in Nature has been shared by it's author via twitter (direct link), and the review in Science has been shared in the Books et al. section of their website.

Not sure how I missed it but the Rob Dunn review is actually already being used (has been from the beginning of this article...) as a citation for "and introduces readers to a number of central strands of research on mycology." Aluxosm (talk) 12:23, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect

Should there be a note on the talk page of this article that there was a discussion of whether to delete Merlin Sheldrake, and the result of the discussion was to redirect to this page? Vorbee (talk) 11:03, 20 October 2020 (UTC) Merlin Sheldrakes book is a Sunday Times Bestseller, so the discussion about lack of importance could come to the new conclusion that a page about Merlin Sheldrake would be better than a redirect now. Comsicseeds (talk) 4 December 2020[reply]

I added {{afd-merged-from}} (the history of this page is a bit odd; sorry that the template wasn't there before). I disagree that we should restore Merlin Sheldrake, as he's still notable for just this book at the moment and therefore likely does not pass WP:NAUTHOR. AleatoryPonderings (???)

ISBNs

I've found these ISBNs in use for the various editions of the book, there may be others but these are definitely the main ones.

There are two different versions of the cover artwork, one for the US editions (the one that is currently the image on this page) and one for the UK editions.
