THE HIDDEN UNIVERSE - ALEXANDRE ANTONELLI GEBUNDEN

We don't know what we've got until it's gone... This brief  lucid book by the Director of
Science at Royal Botanical Gardens takes you on an unforgettable tour of the natural world 
showing how biodiversity - the rich variety of life in the world and in our own backyards -
provides both the source and the salvation of our existence. Combining inspiration stories and
the latest scientific research  Alex Antonelli reveals the wonders of biodiversity at a genetic
species and ecosystem level - what it is  how it works  and why it's the most important tool in
our battle against climate change. A deeper understanding of biodiversity has never been more
important  as the slow violence of habitat loss has put the fate of almost one-fifth of all
species on Earth at risk of extinction in the coming decades. These building blocks of life
form a network that underpins almost every aspect of our lives  providing invaluable sources of
food  medicine  fibre  clothing  building material and more. With simplicity and clarity  The
Hidden Universe shows you not only what's at stake  but what can be done (and is already being
done) to protect and restore biodiversity around the world. It marks the arrival of a bold new
voice in popular science.
