Engagingly written. Not too preachy. Well researched. Well structured. I enjoyed it and found that it provoked thought.

Only odd thing is that each major paragraph has lots of spacing after it, making it appear sometimes that each thought has been grabbed from the ether at different times to the preceding/succeeding paragraph. Also means the book is probably 15-20% shorter than it appears, but that said it is a good length.

This makes me think. I'm going to keep it until 2050 (if I live till then) and see how much comes true! :-)

A great scientific review of environmental challenges that our planet is facing. "At some point you will decide to become vegan". Had really brought me a lot of fear and lots of thinking. Great book!
