by Edward O. Wilson

 

Edward O. Wilson, one of America’s preeminent biologists and an adviser to the New York Botanical Garden’s Board, assesses the precarious state of our environment, examining the mass extinctions occurring in our time and the natural treasures we are about to lose forever. Yet rather than utter doomsday prophecies, he spells out a specific plan to save our world while there is still time. His vision is a hopeful one, as economically sound as it is environmentally necessary.

 

“Wilson is an optimist, and The Future of Life is a call to arms…. His book eloquently makes one thing clear: We know what to do, and we have a choice.” —The New York Times Book Review
