Publisher's Synopsis
'This is a quite simply a marvellous book. I couldn't find a trace of po-faced sanctimony nor yet the patronising tones of an expert attempting to speak to mortals. The conversational style - the beguiling marriage between accessible science and conspiratorial whispers which make it OK not to know everything - is really uplifting ... may everyone get the rush of pleasure from it that I have done.' Sir Tim Smit, co-founder of the Eden Project
'As someone who is passionate about nature and a proud eco nerd, I love this book and you will too!' Ellie Goulding, singer-songwriter and UN Environment Ambassador
