As climate change, habitat loss, and other threats have placed almost one-fifth of all species on Earth at risk of extinction in the coming decades, a deeper understanding of biodiversity has never been more important. Biodiversity encompasses the rich variety of all life on Earth--the building blocks of life that provide invaluable sources of food, medicine, clothing, building materials, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Marking the arrival of a bold new voice in popular science, \u003ci\u003eThe Hidden Universe\u003c\/i\u003e shows readers what's at stake in the fight to protect and restore biodiversity, but also what can and should be done now to protect our planet and ourselves for the future. As director of science at one of the world's largest research organizations in plant and fungal sciences, Brazilian-born scientist Alexandre Antonelli is ideally suited to reveal the wonders of biodiversity at a genetic, species, and ecosystem level--what biodiversity is, how it works, and why it is the most important tool in our battle against climate change. Antonelli offers recommendations for large-scale political changes, as well as smaller, practical steps that readers can implement in their own lives and homes. With Antonelli as our guide, \u003ci\u003eThe Hidden Universe\u003c\/i\u003e helps us imagine a future where biodiversity is not just preserved but cherished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandre Antonelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226821870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226821870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 5.82w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022 pg. 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023","brand":"Alexandre Antonelli","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076439339263,"sku":"9780226821870","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f775a63d-a361-4c7e-878c-20851b9ea3d8.jpg?v=1685464998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hidden-universe-alexandre-antonelli-9780226821870","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
