The Disappearance of Shadows and Other Ecological Reflections
Book Summary
A collection of thought-provoking articles on ecology and our relationship with the planet. Based on the author's teaching and scientific experience, these texts combine irony, knowledge, and a critical look at our throwaway culture. The reader will find material that informs, educates, and proposes solutions for living more sustainably, without losing the accessible and provocative tone that characterizes its author.
What is it about?
This book gathers a selection of articles published by the author in various media outlets over several years.
