পরিবেশ আন্দোলন নিয়ে একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বই। পাশাপাশি পুরনো ঢাকার সৌন্দর্য চমৎকারভাবে উঠে এসেছে প্রথম প্রবন্ধটিতে। এছাড়াও পরিবেশবাদী আন্দোলন শুরুর দিনগুলোর কথা রয়েছে৷ রয়েছে ডেঙ্গু মহামারীর কথা।

পরিবেশ আন্দোলন নিয়ে এমন চমৎকার বই আগে পড়া হয়নি। বইয়ের প্রবন্ধগুলো ভাবায় অদূর ভবিষ্যতের দিনগুলোর কথা; পরিবেশের কথা; মানব সমাজের উৎকন্ঠার কথা।

An absolute good read ! This book depicts another amazing part of Abdullah Abu Sayeed Sir's life that contributed with another dimension in Bangladesh's environmental movement. Have you ever wondered who lead the movement to remove disastrous "baby taxi/scooter" from Dhaka's street or how monstrous disease like "Dengue" got itself out of Dhaka after a massive epidemic in 1998-2000 or maybe how a prudent approach of abolishing extremely harmful lead (Pb) from the octane of your cars or diesel got gyrated ?
The book revealed another aura of Sayeed Sir and Bangladesh Poribesh Andolon (BAPA). A must read if you love him or environment or Bangladesh !
