Stephen G, Reviewer

The book has some very strong points. I enjoyed the brief yet comprehensive discussion of human evolution and some very clever wording. The discussion of climate change was also very good and proposed solutions were interesting. The pacing is good and all explanations of the science seemed easy to understand. The tone is mostly conversational, but can at times lapse into the overly literary for my taste. I also wasn’t enamoured with the discussion of space or with the quotes used to open each chapter. Overall this was a very worthwhile read. Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the advance reader copy.
