Drawing on his work as a biologist Wilson will demonstrate that survival of life on this planet is endangered as never before, as we face the early extinction of at least half of the species of plants and animals on earth before the end of this century. In a tour of the most endangered environments, Wilson traces the fate of coral reefs and amphibians, whose precipitous decline could presage our own. Dr. WilsonΓÇÖs new book is written in the form of a letter to a Southern Baptist pastor, suggesting there are compelling spiritual reasons, as well as environmental, to protect the EarthΓÇÖs biodiversity. He suggests a mutually respectful alliance of science and religion, putting metaphysical differences aside in the service of real-world goals, so that some of the greatest problems of the 21st century might be solved quickly.
