Reviews

Nature's Design: Exploring the Mysteries of the Natural World by Richard Thompson is a very informative and fascinating book. Starting with the importance of grasslands to the survival of humanity and addressing the climatic changes that could cause severe prolonged droughts, the author walks the reader through the development of flora and fauna throughout the world. This is much more than ecology or evolution or protecting our environments: this is the global picture of how and why the web of all life works together. It is a masterpiece of writing and explaining scientific findings in lay terms. He uses African landscape and animals for most of his examples, telling amazing facts about many species. I couldn't put the book down and read from start to finish! I highly recommend it. --Bonnie Neely Real Travel Adventures
