Dan Saladino
Positive New Scientist Through a narrative that weaves science and history with stories spanning every corner of the globe, Saladino makes an urgent call to protect the world’s rare foods ... Saladino covers so much ground that it is hard to touch on even a fraction of the foods he explores ... Packed full of knowledge about a host of ingredients that you probably didn’t even know existed, Eating to Extinction captures the urgency (and cost) of heading towards a future that is less nutritionally diverse.
Merlin Sheldrake
Rave New Scientist (UK) ... an eye-opening exploration of this mysterious taxonomic kingdom ... It is hard not to get caught up in Sheldrake’s passion and enthusiasm for fungi...and no less so than when he considers how these organisms can help build the future ... a wonderful collection of fungal feats to inspire enthusiasts and future mycologists alike and a personal account of Sheldrake’s experiences with these miraculous organisms.
Brian Greene
Positive New Scientist Greene’s background as a physicist and mathematician shows through in the way the disciplines permeate his book ... Greene’s commitment to delivering those answers is one of the book’s strengths. He weaves a rich tapestry of theories and perspectives as he navigates space and time. Many of these ideas are speculative, but at least one may resonate with you ... you would be hard-pressed to find another book that seeks to do so with the same clarity and meaning.
