This extraordinary book has the power to instill a deep appreciation for the intricate web of life that exists on Earth and a sense of urgency to ensure its future survival. It prompted me personally to reevaluate my teaching, its purpose, and its impact on students’ relationships with nature. It inspired me to build the Penn State CHANCE program, devoted to protecting and preserving our planet’s biodiversity. My hope is for future readers to be impassioned to sustain nature.
