JUNGLE - PATRICK ROBERTS KARTONIERT (TB)

'A bold  ambitious and truly wonderful history of the world' Peter Wohlleben  author of The
Hidden Life of Trees'A fascinating story and a crucial revision of the momentous importance of
tropical forests to human history' Lewis Dartnell  author of
Origins_________________________Jungle tells the remarkable story of the world's tropical
forests  from the arrival of the first plants millions of years ago to the role of tropical
forests in the evolution of the world's atmosphere  the dinosaurs  the first mammals and even
our own species and ancestors.Highlighting provocative new evidence garnered from cutting-edge
research  Dr Roberts shows  for example  that our view of humans as 'savannah specialists' is
wildly wrong  and that the 'Anthropocene' began not with the Industrial Revolution  but
potentially as early as 6 000 years ago in the tropics.We see that the relationship between
humankind and 'jungles' is deep-rooted  that we are allconnected to their destruction  and that
we must all act to save them. Urgent  clear-sighted and original  Jungle challenges the way we
think about the world - and ourselves. _________________________'Welcome to the Jungle - a
