Two Must-Read Books on Nature

Two books every nature-love MUST read:

Nature Wars by Jim Sterba. An incredible look at how nature and man have encroached on one another.

The New Wild by Fred Pearce. I rarely recommend a book whose ebook cost more than $9.99. Get this one from the library if you can. Or wait for the price to drop. But DON’T miss it. This is hands-down the most eye-opening book on nature that I’ve ever read. You might cringe at the subtitle: Why Invasive Species Will Be Nature’s Salvation — but I challenge you to read the book and not come away convinced.

My favorite sort of read is the kind that opens my mind to new ideas. Both of these books did this. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Mr Howey, I have finished reading your excellent book Wool. Writing novels is my hobby, and may I get some advice from you about how to make a story attractive? Sorry I am not a native speaker and not good at English. If you have time, please send an email to me, I’ll be grateful. And is this two book sale on Kindle? I want to read them :D

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check those out.

My two favorite books about nature, which I feel should be required reading in highschool are:

The Ancestors Tale by Richard Dawkins

And

Guns Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond.

The pair of them really do a good job teaching how not special and how amazingly special humans are.
