May 2024 Non Fiction Book of the Month
Taking key science concepts and making them accessible, interesting and entertaining, the Explodapedia series has become a must-read for non-fiction readers. Full of entertaining illustrations and written in a witty style, it is current, informative and incredibly readable.
In this instalment Dr Martynoga turns his focus to rewilding. Rewilding is the act of allowing and giving nature and ecosystems the space they need to solve the planet’s biodiversity crisis. Written with a positivity and hope for the possibilities that rewilding offers, this is a call to arms and should be read by every environmental decision maker in the world.
From the intricacies and rules of ecosystems and food chains, to how trees share and work together, every page is fact-filled with fascinating scientific knowledge. As a non-scientist I enjoyed it hugely and finished it feeling much more informed.
A hugely accomplished neuroscientist and science writer, Martynoga’s love of his subject shines from every page, encouraging the reader to join him on a journey of wonder and discovery. A perfectly balanced work of narrative non-fiction, this is a superb addition to a marvellous series and deserves to become a must read for curious minds of all ages.

With our planet in crisis, this volume explores how we should welcome rewilding on both a personal and epic scale. River-nurturing wolves, tree-toppling beavers, climate-warrior whales and even genetically engineered woolly mammoths could all help us protect, revive and restore our planet to its full glory.
