The author of the international bestseller The Sixth Extinction
returns to humanity's transformative impact on the environment, now
asking: after doing so much damage, can we change nature, this time
to save it? Meet the biologists trying to save the world's rarest
fish; the engineers who are turning carbon emissions to stone; the
researchers trying to develop a 'super coral'; and the physicists
contemplating shooting tiny diamonds into the stratosphere to cool
the earth. Elizabeth Kolbert is one of the most important writers
on the environment. Here she investigates the immense challenges
humanity faces as we scramble to reverse, in a matter of decades,
the effects we've had on the natural world and asks - can we save
the natural world in time? 'Important, necessary, urgent' Helen
MacDonald 'Meticulously researched and deftly crafted' Guardian
