- Popis:
- `A bold, ambitious and truly wonderful history of the world` Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees `A fascinating story and a crucial revision of the momentous importance of tropical forests to human history` Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins _________________________ Jungle tells the remarkable story of the world`s tropical forests, from the arrival of the first plants millions of years ago to the role of tropical forests in the evolution of the world`s atmosphere, the dinosaurs, the first mammals and even our own species and ancestors. Highlighting provocative new evidence garnered from cutting-edge research, Dr Roberts shows, for example, that our view of humans as `savannah specialists` is wildly wrong, and that the `Anthropocene` began not with the Industrial Revolution, but potentially as early as 6,000 years ago in the tropics. We see that the relationship between humankind and `jungles` is deep-rooted, that we are all connected to their destruction, and that we must all act to save them. Urgent, clear-sighted and original, Jungle challenges the way we think about the world - and ourselves. _________________________ `Welcome to the "Jungle" - a breathtaking book` Mark Maslin, author of How to Save Our Planet `Timely, readable and highly relevant` Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs `Its revelations and stories will stir, rearrange and populate your mind for years to come` Paul Hawken, editor of Drawdown `Brilliant ... it delivers a timely warning about our abuse of the environment` David Abulafia, author of The Great Sea `Finally, a book on rainforests that does justice to their majesty and importance` Simon Lewis, co-author of The Human Planet
