A review by piedwarbler
Islands of Abandonment by Cal Flyn
4.0
It’s a hopeful book full of optimism. It’s a terrifying read about the dangers the future holds. How can this book be both?
Most of the chapters are about nature’s ability to recover from human interference and destruction.
The last two are about climate change and supervolcanoes. If climate change continues, we could boil to death, and if a supervolcano goes off, we could freeze.
However, if you just consider the first chapters, you get a delightful idea of how nature can recover from almost anything we try and do to ruin the beautiful planet we call home. You might want to stop reading when you get to the chapter “Revelation “ though.
A brilliant book. Taught me lots of things about places I wasn’t familiar with.
