"I learned a lot of interesting things like baboons outnumbered us at the start of agriculture, the Ogallala under the Great Plains is over 10,000 years old and moving inches a year. Humans are the most efficient converters of energy."
"This is a really cool book- but its breadth somehow undercuts its depth. Probably a great jumping off point for find references for a number of different topics. Well worth the time you might take to read it."
"a very basic, one thing after another history of environmental change around the world. a topic too large to be too deep. consequently, can be a bit boring."
