Omschrijving
The power of Hoffman's book lies in the reporting: he doesn't deal - as many environmentalists do - in generalities and alarmist warnings about what lies ahead for the world, but in the specifics of the here and now.
The power of Hoffman's book lies in the reporting: he doesn't deal - as many environmentalists do - in generalities and alarmist warnings about what lies ahead for the world, but in the specifics of the here and now.
An impassioned account of the importance of Nature in our lives, and a timely reminder of the need to take action in the face of unprecendented destruction of the natural world.
If the pen really is mightier than the sword, then Julian Hoffman is a knight errant, looking for trouble, a champion of underdogs.
A passionate and lyrical work of reportage and advocacy.
Lyrical and hugely intelligent
A powerful, tender, inspiring clarion call to save the places that matter, right across the globe.
A powerful hymn to humanity engaging with nature...[a] remarkable, illuminating book.
if you read one book this year, make it Julian Hoffman's Irreplaceable
