Absolutely stunning images of both people and places. The section on the first seed vault withdrawal by Syria was also well-written, and affirmed the purpose of the global seed vault and the necessity of its continuation.

This is a wonderful book filled with pictures and details about a facility I previously knew nothing about. I am fascinated by places and jobs that I have never heard of and could never imagine existing. Svalbard sounds like a very inhospitable place to live, yet perfect for the almost self-sustaining Global Seed Vault. An informative read, and I now I almost want to visit this ultimate cold location.

This big coffee table book comprehensively informs the reader about the Global Seed Vault, where it is, how it came to be and what it is for. Definitely a labor of love by the author.
