Edward O. Wilson is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
Tells the great story of how life on earth evolved. This work describes how the species of the world became diverse, and why the threat to this diversity is beyond the scope of anything we have known before. It also addresses the explosion of the field of conservation biology and takes a look at the work still to be done.
In telling the amazing story of how life on earth came to be so diverse, distinguished scientist Edward O. Wilson defined a new environmental ethic - our obligation to conserve our ecosystems, not simply individual species. In an extensive new foreword to this classic work, he assesses the continuing threat that human activity poses to the Earth's rich biodiversity and, most importantly, explains why we should care.
"Not since Darwin has an author so lifted the science of ecology with insight and delightful imagery" - Richard Dawkins"
