The power of Hoffman's book lies in the reporting: he
doesn't deal - as many environmentalists do - in generalities and
alarmist warnings about what lies ahead for the world, but in the
specifics of the here and now. * Evening Standard *
An impassioned account of the importance of Nature in our
lives, and a timely reminder of the need to take action in
the face of unprecendented destruction of the natural world. * The

If the pen really is mightier than the sword, then Julian Hoffman
is a knight errant, looking for trouble, a champion of underdogs. *
Caught by the River *
A passionate and lyrical work of reportage and
advocacy. * Guardian *
Lyrical and hugely intelligent * New Statesman *
