I think everyone should read this book, or watch his latest documentaries. I believe everyone should be more aware about how nature works and how it's currently changing. This book certainly helps in that aspect, and caused some heated discussions in our household.
I would highly recommend getting the audiobook, narrated by David Attenborough himself, to get his soothing voice when you hear about the world potentially coming to an end. Of course, Attenborough also comes with solutions, a fair bit of history and his own experiences. And everything is very well researched, with advice and stories from scientists all over the world. On top of that, the writing is surprisingly good, though a bit repetitive at times
I don't read much nonfiction, and I dropped both history and biology for good reason, but this was an important and interesting read.
4/5

Ez már a második könyvem Attenborough-tól, de biztosan nem az utolsó. A tényeket és a saját tapasztalatait ötvözve mutatja be a Föld jelenlegi állapotát és potenciális jövőképét. Egyszerre megijesztett és lehangolt a helyzet súlyossága, szerencsére némi reménnyel is szolgál a könyv végén, nem hagyja teljesen sokkos állapotban az olvasót. Nagyon olvasmányos és érthetően tálalja a szakzsargont is, mindenkinek érdemes lenne elolvasnia.

Part memoir, part hope for the future. This is a call to humanity to take action to live in balance with nature, use the already successful examples from around the world and replicate them in every country.

David Attenborough is probably the most popular activist and naturalist that ever lived. The voice of our childhood, and the voice of all the animals. We're seeing the world through his eyes, ever since he started brining the wild on our TVs. And how that wilderness changed drastically, due to greed and capitalism.
