The End of Nature
by
by
This book combines extraordinary level of scientific detail with hints of philosophy. It tries to make the man of 2005 see reason and the future of his actions detailing how one cannot postpone taking radical decisions in context of nature to their future gens.
Reading this book in 2020 hits differently - an year which is a constant reminder of wrath of nature with pandemic, wildfires, floods, droughts and what not. It allures me to imagine indigenous, unadulterated forests of the past and details how we have left our imprint now on every inch of it. I could not help gazing out of my window every now and then, wondering if the trees and birds outside were sick and the polluted rain making them sicker.
The book however is based on the experiences of US and UK and the "we" therefore is a Western man.
