The End of Eden

WITH Adam Welz FACILITATOR Hans van der Veen

What caused a mega herd of around 211,000 saiga wildebeest to die within five days in Kazakhstan in 2015? What do all the longer droughts and devastating storms have to do with freshwater skin disease that is becoming more common among dolphins around the world? These are the kinds of issues that Adam Welz looks at in his pioneering book The End of Eden, which focuses on climate collapse. "This is a disturbing and important book, a calm description of a catastrophe, as if Vermeer had decided to paint a terrible horror in 'slow motion'." The New York Times .
