Description

Our cities and our farms are now important wildlife habitats, even for endangered species, while animals exploit us more and more. Australian author.

If I could give it 6 stars I would. Reading Low creates a paradigm shift in your thoughts about Nature, the environment, and the whole she-bang of animal life on Earth and our (human) place in it. No matter what side of the ecology fence you are on - conservative or radical greenie this book will fundamentally alter your perceptions.

(I sat up all night to finish this and typing in the pre-dawn with no lights. A review down the track.)
