Review of The Redesigned Earth
This is an inspiring book for people who love to study more about Earth’s overall nature and its environmental system. The Redesigned Earth truly brings awareness regarding how interactions of living organisms with their surrounding are significant, alongside the relationships made with different species, populations, communities as well as ecosystems. The writer also emphasizes on constant developmental changes in human’s life, which adversely influence the current planet’s structures, functions and its available energy resources. In addition, the contents on this book provide deeper understanding of the ecology, which can be prominent to tackle all environmental issues.
Furthermore, it comprises of 11 favorable chapters where the first half tells about the fundamental of sciences. They involve the principles of life, ecology, ecotoxicology, microbiology and genetic engineering. The latter part of the book shares the writer’s life experiences in correlation with both limnological systems and environmental risk assessment, just to name a few. The author, John T. Tanacredi, professionally writes all the details in this book for those critical scientists, scholars and students alike, yet he also keeps the words easy to understand so the general readers, including myself, can grasp every content.
To be honest, I am fascinated on how I have learned plenty of new scientific terms from it. The positive aspects about this book are the definitions and explanations that John gives away each time he tries to introduce complicated words. Because he cares so much about his field, the writer also lays out numerous illustrations in order to facilitate messages he wants to convey for readers. He is capable to deliver the importance of ecosystem restorations into writing so people are affected to improve the Earth’s condition for the future generation.
John T. Tanacredi is widely recognized as one of foremost specialists in conservation biology of island and coastal estuarine ecology. My favorite part about his writing is definitely the case studies, which belong on the last chapter. I highly suggest for other readers to have a look too. He puts on most of theory into practice on solving real environmental challenges. Some of the successful restorations are Sandy Hook Beach’s in New Jersey and The Gowanus Canal’s in New York.
The author believes the contaminants in our surrounding can be naturally eliminated or removed through proper remediation strategies. Last but not least, John also remembers to back up all the evidences with findings from other notable scientists. The Redesigned Earth indicates that humans are actually able to maintain the biodiversity from developmental changes, rather than to eliminate, provided that all of us put some efforts to it. Last but not least, I am very delighted to give an honest score for this book and that is 4 out of 4.
