The Vital Question by Nick Lane
The Earth teems with life: in its oceans, forests, skies and cities. Yet there’s a black hole at the heart of biology. We do not know why complex life is the way it is, or even how life first began. In The Vital Question, award-winning author and biochemist Nick Lane radically reframes evolutionary history, putting forward a solution to conundrums that have puzzled generations of scientists.
This is it. This is home.
Out of all the Universe, this is the one place we can call ours, and not just ours. It belongs to every living thing that came to be on it.
This is our Heaven, if we treat it like it is.

In this captivating exploration of plant intelligence, we see that plants, rather than imitate human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel system.

Nature’s Best Hope by Douglas W. Tallamy
Tallamy’s first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because native plants are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In this new book, Tallamy envisions a grassroots approach to conservation. Nature’s Best Hope shows how homeowners can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats.
