4.0
⭐ 4/5 ⭐
Audiobook narrated by David Attenborough.
Well known and loved presenter David Attenborough discusses the impact human ls have had on the natural world , why we should change to be more accommodating if nature and what may happen if we do not.
- The book felt like it was split into three sections. The first was semi-autobiographical, detailing Attenborough's life and career plus how the natural world has diminished over that time. The second focuses on the harm and destruction we humans have caused over time but especially the last 50-100 years and how it will escalate and harm us all. The third discusses ways we may be able to change this climate collision course and revitalise nature once more. This structure worked very well, was very clear and consise and helped to guide the reader on a thought journey.
- I liked that this book, though very much a warning, was hopeful that humans as a species could change and adapt to live with nature. The examples and models given were inspiring and I plan to try and follow some of them myself.
- Is there a better narrator than Attenborough? I don't think there is. The man has had such an amazing career and his insights and passion are always interesting.
A book everyone should read and take heed of to save our world.
