Silent Earth
Aoife’s Review:
At a time when many of us will be batting away undesirable visitors like wasps and mosquitoes, I thought 'Silent Earth' by my hero, the inimitable Dave Goulson, may act as a fitting reminder to the challenges facing the natural world, especially the insects whose often invisible services are vital to our survival.
We have to learn to live as part of nature, not apart from it. And the first step is to start looking after the insects, the little creatures that make our shared world go round.
Insects are essential for life as we know it - without them, our world will slowly grind to a halt. Drawing on the latest ground-breaking research and a lifetime's study, Dave Goulson reveals the shocking decline of insect populations that has taken place in recent decades and the potentially catastrophic consequences.
Eye-opening and inspiring, Silent Earth is a call to arms for profound change at every level and a passionate argument or us to love, respect and care for our six-legged friends.
