Book Description
*Goodreads Choice Award Winner for Best Science & Technology Book of the Year* In this scientifically informed account of the changes occurring in the world over the last century, award-winning broadcaster and natural historian shares a lifetime of wisdom and a hopeful vision for the future. See the world. Then make it better. I am 93. I've had an extraordinary life. It's only now that I appreciate how extraordinary. As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day -- the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet is my witness statement, and my vision for the future. It is the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake -- and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right. We have one final chance to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited. All we need is the will to do so.

Book Description
I gently closed my secret journal upon finishing my last entry for Trinthnia Academy. I placed my signature, Zazzlina Kolia, Light Fae Princess on the last page. I closed my eyes for a moment as my mind drifted back to that first letter, four years ago, telling me to report here to school. Little did I know I’d become friends with mer people, dragons, pixies, elementals, canine shifters, feline shifters, angels. I passed vampires and witches in the hallway at school as if it happened every day. We watched as our beloved school and property started dying beneath our feet, as the water turned to blood; we all pulled together to save the school and the land. I’ve had to fight for my life as a Demon ‘took” me, turned my twin Tiana to a Witch. I opened my eyes as visions, some pleasant, many very painful flashed across my eyes as if on an invisible screen. The one good thing that happened to me at this strange school was now standing in front of me. My handsome, bonded fae Oberon who gently smiled down at me as he extended a hand to help me up. They call me Zazz. I am Fae. This is my story of survival.
