Reviews of “The Big Picture”
 The Big Picture“Biodiversity, climate change, transportation, food, technology, and public policy—each arena is discussed in a series of short, informal essays. The interconnection of popular science, personal experience, and political perspective, in turn, constitutes a biography of the environment, while it constructs Suzuki’s trademark environmentalism...These books [The Big Picture and The Autobiography] introduce the ‘brand,’ but more significantly, they construct an environmentalism that celebrates and would protect life on earth. For British Columbia, Suzuki not only puts us ‘on the map’ but also reconceptualises this place we call home.” BC Studies, Aug 26, 2010 Read more about The Big Picture >> |

The Big Picture“One reason for David Suzuki’s status as most popular living Canadian is obvious: He is able to see the big picture and to communicate that vision to a broad audience. …These essays offer thoughtful analysis of some of the serious problems we humans have created… And they also celebrate some of the things we are getting right. With a mix of humour, righteous anger, and suggested solutions to our problems, the essays in this book are provocative, entertaining, and enlightening.” Finding Solutions, Mar 28, 2009 Read more about The Big Picture >> |
