NAMED A TOPTEN BEST BOOK OF 2023 BY SCIENTIFIC AMERICANA fascinating exploration (Elizabeth Kolbert) of how ecosystems are sculpted and sustained by animals eating, pooping, and dyingand how these fundamental functions could help save us from climate catastrophe.If forests are the lungs of the planet, then animals migrating across oceans, streams, and mountainseating, pooping, and dying along the wayare its heart and arteries, pumping nitrogen and phosphorus from deepsea gorges up to mountain peaks, from the Arctic to the Caribbean. Without this conveyor belt of crucial, lifesustaining nutrients, the world would look very different.The dynamics that shape our physical worldatmospheric chemistry, geothermal forces, plate tectonics, and erosion through wind and rainhave been explored for decades. But the effects on local ecosystems of less glamorous forcesrotting carcasses and deposited fecesas well as their impact on the global climate cycle, have been largely overlooked. The simple truth is that pooping and peeing are daily rituals for almost all animals, the ellipses of ecology that flow through life. We eat, we poop, and we die.From the volcanoes of Iceland to the tropical waters of Hawaii, the great plains of the American heartland, and beyond, Eat, Poop, Die, compulsively readable (Shelby Van Pelt), takes readers on an exhilarating and enlightening global adventure, revealing the remarkable ways in which the most basic biological activities of animals make and remake the worldand how a deeper understanding of these cycles provides us with opportunities to undo the environmental damage humanity has wrought on the planet we call home.
