Dr. Ken Thompson recently retired as Senior Research Fellow and Honorary Senior Lecturer of the Department of Animal and Plant Sciences at the University of Sheffield. He is author of several books, including The Books of Weeds, An Ear to the Ground: Understanding Your Garden and No Nettles Required: The reassuring truth about wildlife gardening, and co-author of The Ecology of Seeds.
I'm not a scientific expert [...] but I could see the well-reasoned logic of Thompson's argument. And, if all those delegates in Nagoya could read this an note that just $5 billion (US) could solve the most urgent conservation problem, they might be won over, too. Resource Magazine - November 2010 Closing wiht reasons to be cheerful, it offers a fresh and fascinating look at a subject of increasing importance. Positive News - Autumn 2010 By putting the focus only on what nature can do for us, Thompson leaves open to possibilities that ecosystems that do not deliver sufficient services might be thrown out with all the biodiversity that they contain. Nature - December 2010 This readable book persuasively explains the calamity of the modern biodiversity crisis and presents a thoughtful analysis of how best to conserve the worlds' species. Plant Life - April 2011
