'An original, wide-ranging and carefully researched book ...
contains important lessons for humanity.' Mark Cocker, The
Spectator A fascinating insight into climate change biology around
the globe, as well as in our own backyards. Hurricane Lizards and
Plastic Squid is the first major book by a biologist to focus on
the fascinating story of how the natural world is adjusting,
adapting, and sometimes measurably evolving in response to climate
change. Lyrical and thought-provoking, this book broadens the
climate focus from humans to the wider lattice of life. Bestselling
nature writer Thor Hanson - author of Buzz (a Radio 4 'Book of the
Week') - shows us how Caribbean lizards have grown larger toe pads
to grip trees more tightly during frequent hurricanes; and how the
'plasticity' of squid has allowed them to change their body size
and breeding habits to cope with altered sea temperatures. Plants
and animals have a great deal to teach us about the nature of what
comes next, because for many of them, and also for many of us, that
world is already here.
