Edward O. Wilson (1929-2021) was the author of more than thirty books, including Anthill, Letters to a Young Scientist, and The Conquest of Nature. The winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, Wilson was a professor emeritus at Harvard University and lived with his wife in Lexington, Massachusetts.
"As an outline of our terrible ecological plight, it [Half-Earth]
does a first-class job. Wilson is, if nothing else, a gifted
wordsmith and Half-Earth is a much-needed antidote to the views of
those who assert that our worldly woes are exaggerated and that
everything is tickety-boo in the Garden of Eden."
*The Observer*
"...the conclusion to [Edward O. Wilson's] best-selling
trilogy…"
*BBC Wildlife*
"... in his new, important work Half-Earth... Wilson's gauntlet has
been thrown: let the revolution begin."
*Geographical*
"It's time to make protecting the biodiversity of our planet the
next great cause of planetary health. If one text could ignite this
movement for biodiversity, it might be E 0 Wilson's book,
Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life."
*The Lancet*
"[Wilson's] book... is provocative in all the best ways..."
*The Guardian*
