Inheritors of the Earth: How Nature Is Thriving in an Age of Extinction by Chris D. Thomas, read by Bob Reed.
Human activity has irreversibly changed the natural environment, causing extinction, deforestation, pollution, and of course climate change. But what impact do our actions have on the animals of our Earth?

This book brings you Greta in her own words.
