Il tempo e l'acqua by Andri Snær Magnason
4.0
emotional informative reflective fast-paced

Not a scientific essay, more like a poetic scientific divulgation / manifesto. The author clearly tries to create an emotional connection with the reader, aiming to wake up a sense of urgency and awareness. There are many poetic descriptions of the beauty that we are going to lose, there are sources, there are personal memories like the ones anyone can have, there are interviews to public important people and pictures of each of the things just mentioned. In other words, the communication of the message is tried at every possible level, increasing indeed that sense of urgency and of importance of the message. Magnason managed to instill me for the first time in my life a feeling of eco-anxiety. Success.
