This book is a story of the interaction of humanity and nature in the land of America. The Native Americans have been living on this land since immemorial. They have lived with Mother Nature, interacting with and respecting her. However, everything changed when the outsiders, the colonists, came, bringing a different ideology: the ideology of dominating nature.

The book is Coming Full Circle: A Sweeping Saga of Conservation Stewardship Across America by Budd Titlow and Mariah Tinger. The central theme of this book is the development of the environmental movement in the United States of America. Humanity is part of nature. Even so, people would rather forsake and sacrifice the environment for modernization and material wealth. This behavior affects the environment and all the creatures on Earth. To fight this, people who care for the environment have found conservation stewardship to protect the natural environment. This book portrays the historical and future development of conservation stewardship across America through the stories of fictional characters.

Thank you, Budd Titlow and Mariah Tinger, for writing this book. I appreciate their efforts in writing this book. Thank you for sharing this information. I like that the authors illustrate the history using the stories. The stories provided are engaging, so good that I almost believe the characters and their stories to be facts. I like how the authors’ story resonates with me. The characters in the stories make me yearn to be like them. I like how the authors have given life to the characters in the book. The interaction of characters is one of the main attractions of this book. I like it when some characters impart their wisdom and knowledge to others. The advice manages to reach and benefit me. My favorite character in this book is Strong Bow. For a person preserving the circle of nature, his ending is ironic.

There are things I dislike about the book. The formatting is poor, especially the lack of uniformity in the font’s size. The misplaced spaces in the words and missing alphabets have become frequent in the book. This negligence has brought down the quality of the writing and further lessened my enjoyment while reading the book.

This book is not exceptionally well-edited, as I did find some mistakes. This book has simple language, poor formatting, good stories, pearls of wisdom, and a good presentation. Storywise, this book has it in spades; the story is above average. Even so, the mistakes and bad formatting presented in the book have lowered its quality. Due to this, I need to make deductions from the rating. The errors and the poor format are sufficient to deduct two stars. For these reasons, I am happy to give this book a rating of 3 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to mature readers. After all, nature can be cruel. This book concentrates on the development of the environmental movement in the land of America. Therefore, I recommend this book to anyone interested in history, environment, or both. This book is also suitable for anyone with US citizenship. I have a feeling that this book will resonate strongly with them. I also recommend it to those who find the environment has worsened compared to the past. This book might inspire you on the way humans should treat nature. If you lack a proper mindset to preserve the environment, this book might help you adopt one. Just choose which characters you want to imitate. Hence, I recommend the people mentioned before to read this book, as you will find this book helpful and relevant to you.
