From river levees to enormous one-crop fields, we continue to try to reshape nature for our purposes - so much so it seems we may be in danger of destroying it.In A Natural History of the Future, biologist Rob Dunn argues that nothing could be further from the truth: rather than asking whether nature will survive us, better to ask whether we will survive nature. Despite our best - or worst - efforts to control the biological world, life has its own rules, and no amount of human tampering can rewrite them. Elucidating several fundamental laws of ecology, evolution, and biogeography, Dunn shows why life cannot be stopped. We sequester our crops on monocultured fields, only to find new life emerging to attack them. We dump toxic waste only to find microbes to colonize it. And even in the London Tube, we have seen a new species of mosquito emerge to take advantage of an apparently inhospitable habitat. Life will not be repressed by our best-laid plans. Instead, Dunn shows us a vision of the biological future and the challenges the next generations could face.A Natural History of the Future sets a new standard for understanding the diversity of life and our future as a species.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 34mmItem Weight: 520gAuthor: Rob DunnGenre: Science Nature & MathTopic: Home Garden & PetsRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
