The Nutmeg's Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis by Amitav Ghosh

challenging dark reflective slow-paced

4.5

This this is a book that is part of the history of colonialism and part memoirs of modern environmentalism. It jumps around a bit as it tries to connect the history of environmental destruction to what is happening today. Overall, it is very thought-provoking and presents a lot of new ideas That I was not aware of. It can , however , become preachy at times and present the author's thoughts and ideas as fact rather than opinions , but this happens seldomly.
