An interesting look at the Amazon deforestation and the political and other drivers behind it. Quite out of date now, but still relevant and gives a good historical understanding behind what is happening there today. I found this book on the side of the road - good lockdown reading :-) And Monbiot writes for the Guardian today, so was interesting to read some of his personal back-story and understand where he comes from.

Great reporting but so hard to follow and remember - would have liked a heavier edit.
