About this listen
The second book by the bestselling author of Extraordinary Insects
Trees clean air and water; hoverflies and bees pollinate our crops; the kingfisher inspired the construction of high-speed trains. In Tapestries of Life, bestselling author Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson explains how closely we are all connected with the natural world, highlighting our indelible link with nature’s finely knit system and our everyday lives.
In the heart of natural world is a life-support system like no other, a collective term that describes all the goods and services we receive – food, fresh water, medicine, pollination, pollution control, carbon sequestration, erosion prevention, recreation, spiritual health and so much more. In this utterly captivating book, Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson sets out to explore these wonderful, supportive elements – taking the reader on a journey through the surprising characteristics of the natural world.

Informative and accessible
This is a neat presentation for laymen of ecosystem services. It succinctly presents different natural processes, our dependence of them, and our disruptive impacts. I recommend it to anyone who have the least interest in understanding our role in the biosphere. As I have a MSc in biology, none of it was news to me, but it was nevertheless a pleasant read. And the book is not written for me, it's for everyone else.
