This book was so informative and a great read! I especially loved the history at the beginning and wished that section had been longer. However, the modern environmental section was so interesting and something I feel everyone should have to read. I learned so much about the impact we humans have on our environments and ways we can reverse those negative effects. Will definitely look for more by this author!

I've decided to participate in the #riotgrams, even though I don't have Instagram. Ha. The first challenge is a shelfie, so here are a couple of my historical fiction shelves.
