Books like Inheritors of the Earth by C. D. Thomas


In *Inheritors of the Earth*, ecologist Chris D. Thomas argues against the prevailing belief that human activity has irrevocably harmed the planet. He demonstrates that numerous plants and animals benefit from human presence, boosting biodiversity and accelerating speciation in many regions. Through global examples—from Costa Rican forests to the UK, the Alps, and North America—Thomas highlights resilient species such as the York comma butterfly, hybrid bison, scarlet-beaked pukeko, and invasive Asian palms, showing that nature is adapting and even thriving in the Anthropocene.

📘 Darwin comes to town
 by Menno Schilthuizen

With human populations growing, we're having an increasing impact on global ecosystems, and nowhere do these impacts overlap as much as they do in cities. "Urban ecologists" study how our manmade environments are changing the evolution of the animals and plants around us. Schilthuizen takes us around the world for an up-close look at just how stunningly flexible and swift-moving natural selection can be. He shows how the wildlife sharing these spaces with us is not just surviving, but evolving ways of thriving.
