What are the best and most comprehensive books about anthropocene and the sixth extinction? Or just nature in general.
I read Before Nature Dies by Jean Dorst. It was good but seriously outdated. Is Elizabeth Kolbert worth reading?

Well it won the Pulitzer while the Leaky book of the same name didn’t. Haven’t read either, so can’t make a comparison for you.
Nor this one, but I bring it to your attention.

Anyone else around read any of these?

It's all lies. They have no evidence of anything. Enjoy your fairy tales.

You don’t know what a fairytale is

Kolbert is decent enough for a pop sci book. It's mostly different examples / perspectives on the developments, so if you're already familiar with the topic there won't be much new in it except for the examples. It reads easily though.

Allright, I have some familiarity with the subject so now I´m on the fence about it.

Will check it out, thanks.

Does anyone know of anything more in depth? Something more specific.
