This book is an astonishing revelation. Parts of it made my jaw drop. From the great auk and frogs and bats to coral, the author lays out the evidence of our effect on our fellow living things. It's not just that species are disappearing and the oceans are becoming more acidic etc., it's the terrifying rate at which these changes are occurring. This book is not about global warming alone, it's about all of the changes to the planet and its inhabitants by human beings. One of the most surprising to me is that Homo Sapiens may be responsible for the disappearance of earlier hominids. Absolutely riveting.
