Life on our Planet, A
Attenborough, DavidA household name and with decades of international experience under his belt, broadcaster and historian David Attenborough is a man with a powerful message. In this 'witness statement and vision for the future', he outlines what has been done to the natural world, and spells out how it is possible to remedy the damage that has been inflicted.
Part-memoir, part-manifesto and part-blueprint, this is a sobering account of the mess we have made of the natural world, and crucially, how to restore balance to our planet.

Excellent - should be required reading for all decision makers.

This book widely split our group; whilst nobody disagreed with the message conveyed by the well-respected David Attenborough, there were several who felt it was not a good Book Club choice. Conversely two members rated it a 5. Those who did not rate it highly felt they had heard it all and wanted entertaining rather than educating. Those who loved it felt it should be required reading for everybody, particularly school children. Information overload was also cited as a reason for not enjoying the book choice.

Informative. Good discussions about the state of the environment, planet, and human use of both over the last several thousand years. Some members were hopeful for human and the planet's future. Others not so much.

Very thought-provoking - but there were a few notes of positivity.

Some members were very excited for this book and were hoping for more memoir/auto-biographical elements. A less interesting read for the members who prefer non-fiction, however very interesting to others and generated much discussion.

We agreed this was a great book. Every adult should read this book. The small print made it hard for some of our group to read it.
