Mer om författaren

Nicola Davies is a zoologist and has produced and presented radio and TV programmes, including The Really Wild Show.

Nicola Davies says, "When I started writing this book I was pretty gloomy. Climate change was big and scary and I didn't think I or anyone else could make a difference. But I’m not gloomy any more. In fact, I’m quite excited because I’ve started to hear a sound, sometimes like a distant rumble of thunder, sometimes like a raindrop close to my ear. It’s the sound of people changing. It’s there in all the conversations I had with the people in this book; it’s there in all the practical details about insulating houses or designing electric cars; it’s there even in all the wrangling of UN climate negotiations. There’s a shift happening in people’s hearts and minds, not just towards the need to save our skins, but towards a more deeply respectful relationship with the planet that’s given us life. It could the sound of our species, finally, growing up."
