We can't think what we need to think about the catastrophe of extinction. It is too big. Only stories can change us and ignite the passion necessary for action. Latham's superb storytelling makes ecological crisis personal, local and often scarily visible. He doesn't let the tragedy hide, as it usually does, behind graphs and abstractions. Yet there's hope here too, in spades. This is an exhilarating and vital book.Charles Foster, author of Cry of the Wild
