HARVEST FOR HOPE

Tippi Hedren delivers Goodall's message of conservation, mindfulness, and environmentalism in a resonant and cautionary tone. Listeners will be hard hit by the book's lessons and will never again eat or drink anything without a thought as to where it came from; how it was produced; or how it may be harming the environment, their own bodies, and/or their families. Deliberately didactic, Goodall's message also balances what is wrong with suggestions for what people can do to reverse the damage humans have wrought upon the earth. Bonus introductory and concluding readings from Goodall herself help cement the message. The sincerity of both narrations add to Goodall's convincing evidence that people must reevaluate their actions. D.L.M. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 06]
