Customer Reviews

I live by this!

This one of the best books I have ever read! It is humorous and never once loses the attention of the reader. I highly reccomend this for yourself or as a gift.

Important Environmental Perspectives in a Readable Format

Whit Gibbons does an excellent job of presenting some of the most critical issues our world faces today (e.g., loss of biodiversity, impacts of humans on the environment) in a extremely easy to read and enjoyable format. A must read for anybody truly concerned about the environment in which they, and their children, live.

A worthy message, told with a sense of humor

Many of Dr. Gibbons anecdotes and reminiscences are extremely funny, however the real reason to read this book is for the simple, plain-spoken justifications for the preservation of biodiversity.
