TRANSFORMATION. 8. CODA.ReviewsRob Fish has reinvented the textbook! This bright, illustrated and accessible volume is no less rigorous in what it teaches for having a graphic novel style, than a traditional text. I love it, and it will keep students engaged with material in a way that academic literature doesn't always manage. -- Dr Neil J. Gostling, Lecturer in the Ecology and Evolution Research Theme, School of Biological Sciences, University of Southampton, UK This is a brilliant and refreshing piece of academic literature, presenting the key themes of human ecology in a fun and organic way that keeps you engaged throughout, a far cry from the usual dense academic text. I wish I had this available at the beginning of my degree! --Katie Hargrave-Smith, Environmental Social Sciences student, School of Anthropology and Conservation, University of Kent, UK Rob Fish has reinvented the textbook!

I wish I had this available at the beginning of my degree! --Katie Hargrave-Smith, Environmental Social Sciences student, School of Anthropology and Conservation, University of Kent, UK So often now, as scientists, we are asked to frame nature in terms of 'resources' and 'value' it in terms of 'service' to human economies. In my humble opinion this only serves to entrench the fundamental schism we have generated between ourselves and our environment. Healing this separation wound, as this book helps to do, is not only profound at an individual level, but potentially holds the key to a truly sustainable future.
