A wonderful story about Darwin’s journey visiting islands around the world to observe animal life. After reading this book I decided that teaching for sustainability was the only pursuit to take. Possibly my favourite book!

Fiction
I have read many of Ian McEwn’s books and truely love them, especiallly for his ability to take you on a journey full of emotions and intrigue and reflection for many years after having put the books down. This one, I am still pondering. It’s about the expereince of a professor navigating the politics of renewable energy and academia, as well as some unusal personal events. I would love to share my thouhts with anyone else who has read it. At the moment words such as “funny but strange” come to mind.
