This book is probably one that is going to raise consider debate! It’s firmly divided into three chunks - how the world has changed during David’s life’s; what could happen if we don’t make changes now; changes that could be done to get us back on the right path again.

I suppose the answer depends on whether the world and all its politicians can learn to work together for the greater good or not.

Sir David Attenborough is someone who makes everything interesting and in this book full of statistics and scientifically described information he still holds my attention where many others would fail.

The book opens with a brief description of how he got into the position he held in the BBC mentioning some of his experiences such as the encounter with the gorillas which is one of my fondest television memories. He then goes on to give his account of the world has changed over the last century, his lifetime. It's not great news and work needs to be done to safeguard the future of our loved ones and the planet itself. David tells of some of the work that is already taking place and other work that needs to be done.

A fascinating read that does not overcomplicate the facts and makes a lot of sense. A book that everyone should take note of.

I would like to thank both Netgalley and Random House Publishing for supplying a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is David Attenborough's account of how our world has changed over the last century, and it's not good. As David says "We have one final chance to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.

All we need is the will do so. ". I hope everyone reads this wonderful, insightful book and acts now.
Thank you NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read this amazing book.
