I loved the cover of this book. It is what drew me in. It took a long time to read this book, because for me it was almost a textbook. I expected a less scientific book, and more about our role in the natural world. Each chapter held so much scientific information, that I had to read the book slowly and what I gained in fact, I lost in awe. I thank NetGalley and Penquin Random House Canada for the advance read.

I have read this book with such devotion and intention and read parts of it aloud to my husband. What I've learned! It is beautifully written, the science is understandable (what is understood, that is) and I am more in awe of nature every day. A must-read for any nature enthusiast.
