Forget Me Not: Finding the forgotten species of climate-change Britain by Sophie Pavelle

5.0

I absolutely loved this!! A really refreshing style of nature writing from somebody who doesn't profess to know everything (and often wants to persuade you that she knows nothing at all - but don't listen to her...!) but learns along the way with you, in a conversational and anecdotal way. Pop culture references and wit are interspersed with groundbreaking science and the words of experts interviewed for the book. The book sees Sophie go on a series of low-carbon trips around the UK looking for (and not always finding) 10 species... each a bit of an underdog, magical characters in their own way, and under threat due to climate-change. Proof that reading about and learning about these topics doesn't have to always be doom and gloom.

Thanks to the publisher for sending me a copy.
