A Natural History of the Future: What the Laws of Biology Tell Us about the Destiny of the Human Species by Rob Dunn

4.0

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!!
