Deep breath...

I'm ready to start reading this after buying it a few weeks back.

Mark is an absolute paragon and leading light in the conservation movement and I am incredibly excited about reading this. I'm also preparing myself to be saddened almost beyond my capacity to cope.

Either way, it'll stoke my coals and get me angry and ambitious, more passionate and more reflective. And I'll do it all in an approachable, erudite and engaging way - so help me Mother Nature.
