Reviews

'… this book will help the … reader to think through their values and their relationship with nature… I encourage the readers … to buy this book, let Trudgill's seminars reshape their thinking, and (re)discover for themselves why we should conserve nature.' George Holmes, Oryx '… I found the author's profoundly personal engagement with the material endearing. The volume is littered with references to art, literature, poetry, and philosophy, leaving readers with the impression of a well-read and highly cultured scholar sharing a lifetime of experience and thought with lucky readers. He had clearly thought long and hard about the material, taught it, and wrote about it extensively. The resulting text reflects this personal journey of thinking, teaching, and writing. As I read it, I had the feeling of sitting down with a master in the twilight of his career and hearing what he had learned.' Jonathan A. Newman, The Quarterly Review of Biology
