“… Will appeal to intelligent non-specialists and may provide the incentive to study the subject in greater depth.”
Journal of Biological Education
A discussion on environmental concerns focusing on biodiversity and the future of relations between human society and the environment.
Biologist John Spicer shows how closely our future is linked with that of biodiversity while navigating listeners through some key problems facing our planet, including mass extinctions, population explosions, habitat destruction, and pollution.
Along the way, he provides valuable insight into the impact humans have had upon the earth and its inhabitants, whether efforts such as ecotourism really help, and how scientists and economists calculate the 'value' of biodiversity.
Passionately argued, this book is a must for anyone who has an appreciation for nature and wants to understand the real issues at stake in preserving it.
“Spicer combines his broad understanding of biodiversity with a passion to preserve it. I recommend it to anyone concerned about biodiversity.”
Steven C Stearns – Edward P Bass Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University
“A stimulating, authoritative and deeply rewarding read that makes you think about the natural world in a novel way.”
Ahmed Djoghlaf – Assistant Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme and Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biodiversity
