"NetGalley Review: 3 stars Updated 15 Feb 2021 ""This book consists of roughly ten-page recaps of the lives and accomplishments of people involved with the natural world. They're categorized as thinkers, doers, or fighters, but I found the placements rather arbitrary as most people could easily have been placed in more than one category. ""There's also one person who simply doesn't belong in the book in my opinion. Nothing against his accomplishments, but agriculture doesn't fit with the careers of all the other people profiled. I reread the introductory material and that chapter looking for an explanation without success. I think it will be obvious to all readers. ""It's not really suitable as an introduction for children because of language used. ""I was familiar with most of the people included, but the book did make me want to read more by or about a few of them. ""Thanks to Falcon Guides and NetGalley for an early copy to read."" -- Dennis McManus, Consumer Reviewer"
