Immersive non-fiction with STEM and social justice themes that
proves that the future of the environment is in our hands–and
helps pave the way forward. Evolution isn’t just a thing of the
past. It is happening right now, in every species across the
world–and our influence on the future of the plants and animals
around us is much bigger than we might think. A closer look at the
science behind evolution shows how human behaviors like hunting,
farming, and urban development have contributed to major physical
changes in everything from rhinos to pigs to lizards. And these
changes impact us in turn–triggering environmental shifts and
contributing to climate change. The good news is there’s hope: by
learning to see how everything is connected, we can weigh the
consequences of our choices and help shape a world that works for
plants, animals, and humans alike. Making connections across
anthropology, biology, and ecology, award-winning author Yolanda
Ridge takes an intersectional approach to a challenging
topic–examining the factors that influence human behavior while
looking forward to explain the changes we can make and the ethics
of those choices. Profiles of young activists and innovators
highlight the ways readers can contribute to restoring ecological
balance, while vibrant illustrations by Dane Thibeault evoke the
energy and beauty of the natural world we are working to preserve.
