A decent and humane tale about the threat and promise of biodiversity change
James Lovelock, author of 'The Revenge of Gaia' and 'A Rough Guide to the Future'
An immensely significant book. It is fluently written, carefully thought through, ruthlessly argued, neatly illustrated with case studies - and shockingly contrarian
Matt Ridley, The Times (Book of the Week)
His flowing narrative is rich in stories of his fieldwork round the world ... Thomas's vision ... aspires to something nobler, more optimistic
Fred Pearce, New Scientist
Fascinating ... Chris Thomas examines our human relationships with nature, bad and good, and sets out a more hopeful truth to current narratives and alarms ... This is a rich and timely tale, fearless too, with examples and cases drawn from ecosystems across the world
Prof Jules Pretty, Times Higher Education
[A] thrilling and uplifting counter to the pessimism of the Anthropocene
Stuart Blackman, BBC Wildlife Magazine
Provocative ... Filled with lovely anecdotes ... Remarkably clear
New York Times Book Review
