      I wanted to rate this lower because I already knew a wide amount of the information that was presented in this book. If I was going off of that I would have probably given it 3 stars but reflecting on the way the information was explained as well as the general communication techniques is was really won me over. E O Wilson has an excellent way of communicating science to the general public and specific groups that generally push back against the scientific community; especially on topics like climate change and funding conservation projects for endangered species.

      I think this book has a very wide audience and should be read by people interested in conservation, have concerns about the connections between religion and science, and any scientists interested in a good quality example of how to communicate their area of expertise to the public.

      Recently there's been lots of discussion about the need for scientists and theologians to find common ground. In particular, I've always wondered why many churches don't seem to be advocates for nature and the environment. E.O. Wilson, an evolutionary biologist and award-winning author is in a wonderful position to articulate these concerns. Written as a letter to a pastor, makes a clear case that it's time to take action.
