This wonderful and deeply thoughtful book takes your mind on a journey of discovery; questioning and evaluating our current approaches to conservation, while digging into, and analysing the key values and beliefs that we can harness to achieve a healthy and well-balanced planet - humans included! A refreshing approach to global challenges!
I would thoroughly recommend this read whether you're an accomplished conservationist, a newbie to field work, a lecturer, student, or someone passionate about conserving our planet. This book is for everyone, because we ALL play a part in the preservation and evolution of this diverse planet. Less Doing, More Being is a message to hold at the front of your mind every day, and in all walks of life!
