520    "Immersive non-fiction with STEM and social justice themes
       that proves that the future of the environment is in our 
       hands-and helps pave the way forward. Evolution isn't just
       a thing of the past. It is happening right now, in every 
       species across the world-and our influence on the future 
       of the plants and animals around us is much bigger than we
       might think. A closer look at the science behind evolution
       shows how human behaviors like hunting, farming, and urban
       development have contributed to major physical changes in 
       everything from rhinos to pigs to lizards. And these 
       changes impact us in turn-triggering environmental shifts 
       and contributing to climate change. The good news is 
       there's hope: by learning to see how everything is 
       connected, we can weigh the consequences of our choices 
       and help shape a world that works for plants, animals, and
       humans alike. Making connections across anthropology, 
       biology, and ecology, award-winning author Yolanda Ridge 
       takes an intersectional approach to a challenging topic-
       examining the factors that influence human behavior while 
       looking forward to explain the changes we can make and the
       ethics of those choices. Profiles of young activists and 
       innovators highlight the ways readers can contribute to 
       restoring ecological balance, while vibrant illustrations 
       by Dane Thibeault evoke the energy and beauty of the 
       natural world we are working to preserve."--|cProvided by
