"our best bet for extanding our stay on this planet is to pay attention to the rules of life and work with them rather than against them"
This book was wonderful, very informative. The author explains a lot of scientific concepts but makes them easy to understand. It's all based on scientific evidence : the author explains some research experiments, how they were conducted, the results and the analysis of these results.
Despite being scientific, the book is easy to read and understand, and some fragments are funny.
My only regret is that I would have liked to read about the impact of big corporations and governments on climate change. While I agree that it's important to reduce our meat consumption or use bikes or public transportation more often, these actions aren't enough if big corporations keep polluting like they do and governments do not stop them.
This book often mentions insects. If you are very sensitive to this subject, you might want to avoid it.
