Reviews
– Bold, riveting and visionary […] this is an exciting read! (Patrick Barkham)
– A primordially fortifying book. (New Statesman)
– A hopeful tale, and one well worth reading. (Lorraine Connolly, Country Life)

Brilliant!
A must read.
Fascinating and hopeful, this is a wonderful read.
Especially loved the chapter on whales, learnt so much about the importance of whale poo in the food chain, some remarkable facts I was totally unaware of.
Highly recommended!
