My Least Favourite Species (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798600184473)

What is your least favourite species? The mosquito? The spider? The duck-billed platypus? (hey - I don't know you, maybe you have an irrational hatred or well-developed sense of aesthetics). There are of course many contenders in so subjective a competition, but when the stakes are the very survival of this planet's biosphere, there can be only one winner, or loser depending on who you're rooting for.

My Least Favourite Species is the story of the last four billion or so years of our ecosystem, with a focus on the questionable achievements of a certain breed of bipedal hairless apes. A genus of relative newcomers to the planet, so convinced of their own superiority they think chopping down all the forests that generate oxygen to provide them with fuel and material goods is a terrific idea.

As part of this story, we'll be going on a journey to find the 'Tipping Point', that fateful, pivotal moment from which the cascade of imbalances we're introducing into the fragile shell of sustenance surrounding the little ball of rock we are arrogant enough to think we own, become both unstoppable and irreversible.
