A powerful, beautifully written book that demands great dexterity in multitasking one handed Google maps navigation whilst reading. Zooming in and around each destination on an iPad as the exploration unfolds adds great value. I’ve never listened to an audiobook, but it’s just made me realise how much more of a coordinated experience this could have been!

Beautiful writing that seamlessly blends history with ecology. I will never look at an abandoned building or place the same way again.

Beautifully written, bringing hope that that our planet itself can rebound without humanity, whilst driving home the significance of our impact and the importance of change for the survival of our species. Each chapter is fascinating, thought-provoking and tells its own story.

Humans vs Nature, Cal Flyn takes us to places impacted by environmental crisis, both man made and those that occur naturally. Whether is is how nature is surviving and returning in Chernobyl or how a community survives a massive volcano eruption. Both depressing and hopeful, we humans can make a difference, but will we.

Some beautiful writing about the natural post-human environment, but paired with detailed science and research. The last chapters focused on the potential impacts of climate change were slightly less interesting but didn’t let it down overall
