This is a beautifully written plea to save the natural world by Pulitzer Prize winning, Harvard University professor and biologist, Edward Wilson. The book is written in the form of a letter to an evangelical minister because, unfortunately, educated, intelligent people still have to convince the witless, superstitious, and happily ignorant folks to help save the planet if there is any chance for it to be saved. Wilson's writing is accessible, and his argument is clear and factual; the problem is the book is already over twelve years old and not much positive has happened in that time. Human beings foolishly and systematically continue to ruin the planet for future generations. Those future generations will look back at this time without fondness or respect: we have known for decades what we needed to do to save our environment but opted not to so why should they be respectful. Nevertheless, Wilson is more optimistic than I am, and his book is, in many spots, beautiful, especially when describing nature and it's nonhuman inhabitants. HIGHLY recommend.
