Nature wants to heal, and we can help. This is the natural successor to James Lovelock's Gaia books by the 'Steve Jobs of ecology'.

When Earth's ecosystems fall out of harmony, the damage can spiral out of control. But what if we could help nature to regain its balance?

As a leading ecologist, Professor Thomas Crowther studies not just how species work in isolation, but how complex ecosystems regulate themselves. When nature's cycles are allowed to build momentum, each species can create the conditions to allow others to thrive. From the birth of galaxies to the creation of life, the greatest transformations in our universe have been driven by quiet, self-reinforcing processes known as feedback loops.

Drawing on cutting-edge ecological science, gripping personal narrative and initiatives already happening around the world, Nature's Echo shows how natural feedback loops have astonishing power to rebound, even with minor intervention. If we can only realize how integral we are to this highly interconnected natural world, we will re-discover the path to a better future.
