In the book, 'Inheritors of the Earth,' Chris D. Thomas, ecologist and environmentalist, University of York, overturns the accepted story, revealing how nature is fighting back. He takes readers on a gripping round-the-world journey to meet the enterprising creatures that are thriving in the Anthropocene. In doing so, he questions our the irrational persecution of so-called 'invasive species.’
By combining a naturalist's eye for wildlife with an ecologist's wide lens, he forces readers to re-examine humanity's relationship with nature, and reminds them that the story of life is the story of change.
Thomas is a Fellow of the Royal Society. He has received the Scientific Medal of the Zoological Society of London, the President's Medal of the British Ecological Society, the Marsh Award for Conservation Biology, and the Marsh Award for Climate Change Research. This is his first book.
