Place reservation for The end of Eden : wild nature in the age of climate breakdownA revelatory exploration of climate change from the perspective of wild species and natural ecosystems - an homage to the miraculous, vibrant entity that is life on Earth. The stories we usually tell ourselves about climate change tend to focus on the damage inflicted on human societies by big storms, severe droughts, and rising sea levels. But the most powerful impacts are being and will be felt by the natural world and its myriad species, which are already in the midst of the sixth great extinction. Rising temperatures are fracturing ecosystems that took millions of years to evolve, disrupting the life forms they sustain - and in many cases driving them towards extinction. Although we can never really know what a creature thinks or feels, 'The End of Eden' invites the reader to meet wild species on their own terms in a range of ecosystems that span the globe.
