List of David Biello Books
1. The Unnatural World: The Race to Remake Civilization in Earth’s Newest Age
Publication Date: November 15, 2016 Publisher: Scribner Language: English Print length: 304 pages
In this masterpiece, David Biello’s first book, the journalist takes us on a long ride, trying to prove that although civilization is in crisis, humanity must learn to adapt and bring innovations to save the Earth. Humans have become unconscious gardeners of the Earth and are not in control but only set rules by which we either flourish or perish. The Unnatural World also brings to light a despairing crop of unlikely heroes, including a pigeon that is hell-bent on bringing back species in extinction; an insane scientist who fertilizes the seas; a junior Chinese government official trying his best to make his city a better place, and much more. Furthermore, Biello explores and points out the need for everyone in the society, be it the billionaires, the low-class, scientists, and ordinary people in the society, to do their best to protect our home – the Earth and make it a better place. Nevertheless, the only problem standing in the way is “us.” Human activities have become so intense that we have reached a new geological epoch called the Anthropocene. Reading this book won’t be a bad idea as David Biello’s analysis will help you understand the challenges facing our planet and also arouse several thought-provoking ideas on the way forward.
