After another frame-wrecking year I can think of no better book to recommend than Dave Goulson's Silent Earth

Goulson's book deserves to be widely read. It is fact-filled and well balanced in the minefield of environmental politics.

Mance is an amiable guide: curious and open-minded.

Mance...is spot on to make us confront the horrible truth... [How to Love Animals] will force its readers to stop and think about the incomprehensible scale of unnecessary suffering we impose on our fellow creatures.
