Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse by Dave Goulson

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

A brilliant book. Engrossing, fascinating, and utterly terrifying! But it never wallows in the gloom of the climate crisis instead dedicating the entire last section to reasonable and practical solutions to the problem facing humanity. 

We should value insects, and all animals, more than we do. This book is a startling reminder of how we take the earth for granted and if we don't change we won't be around much longer and neither will much of anything else.
