Lots of great examples, studies, with sharp-minded wit and logic to synthesize. Most memorable are the contextualizations around us: how needy we are for environment and climate, how relentless life is at hanging on, how unique but not special humans are.

The "biological" laws were more about ecology, and not that enlightening, at least to me? How and where animals will migrate as a result of climate change is interesting, but I was hoping for something bigger?

This book was extremely interesting!!! I saw Dunn speak at a local event, since he’s a professor at NC State. The way he talks about ecology is so interesting to me, I think because I learned ecology from relatively dry textbooks and from teaching APES. This book described principles we know from the past and applied them to the future in a way that feels unique and refreshing. The idea that we need to sort of get biology on our side when thinking about the future is a cool way to approach modern ecology. If I were still teaching APES I think I’d use this book!!
