Product Description

This may well be the most important book of our generation. The author, two-time Pulitzer Prize winning author Professor Edward O. Wilson (professor emeritus Harvard University) states that “For the first time in history a conviction has developed among those who can actually think more than a decade ahead that we are playing a global endgame.” In order to stave off the mass extinction, including our own, we must move swiftly to preserve the biodiversity of our planet.
