A scientist with a poet's command of language, Cristina Eisenberg writes with precision and passion. . . takes her reader on a breathtaking, sometimes heartbreaking tour of the planet from the Gulf of Maine to the Amazonian rain forests, the tropical coral reefs to old growth forests of the Northwest as well as rivers, lakes, and wetlands. I found the wealth of information not only accessible but riveting. . . Eisenberg's powerful, beautifully written book. . . has the potential to open many people's eyes, minds, and hearts.
Jonathan Safran Foer
People who care about animals tend to care about people. They don't care about animals to the exclusion of people. Caring is not a finite resource and, even more than that, it's like a muscle: the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.
