An exploration of how humans shape the lives of plants and animals – and how they in turn shape us – David Farrier takes readers on a profound and mind-bending journey into a natural world that has always found new ways to adapt and thrive. In demonstrating how nature takes on new forms to meet the environment of the moment, Nature’s Genius asks what lessons we can learn to find ways not only to adapt but also to halt the destruction that humans are causing to the planet. David appears in conversation with Ruth Allen, author of Weathering.
