Thoughts

A really good, comprehensive and visual look at what are the challenges that are creating the environmental problems we can see and are forecasting to happen - from the burgeoning population to extracting too much from the earth, to the impact of the missing ozone layer or shifting seasons. It’s not all doom and gloom, there is a look at the future and what could be done, but let’s be honest, this is a necessarily brutal book.
