Reviews of “The Legacy”
 The Legacy“Suzuki locates his vision of nature’s order even more deeply, as an 'elder,' in the healing resources of aboriginal wisdom... The imaginative reach of Suzuki’s earth-vision grounded in scientific fact is astounding. Single sentences can change our perceptions of space and time ranging from the pre-Cambrian era to future millennia... to this reader, Suzuki’s grasp of the magic, profound complexity of nature’s underlying matrix is the strength of his new book.” Telegraph Journal, Oct 2, 2010 Read more >>Read more about The Legacy >> |

The Legacy“David Suzuki is one of the loudest voices in the global green community, and is surely the elder statesman of Canadian environmentalism. Suzuki adds to an already impressive body of work with The Legacy.” Quill & Quire, Oct 1, 2010 Read more about The Legacy >> |
The Legacy“The book reads as if Suzuki is speaking to you, taking you by the hand on a journey...[It] is a summary of some of the big concepts that are being thrown around in the media today. It takes them, simplifies them for the everyday reader and makes them easy to digest. Not surprisingly, it’s written in a way that can be easily digested by teens.” Green Living, Sep 30, 2010 Read more >>Read more about The Legacy >> |
The Legacy“With environmental crises facing the planet—climate change, ocean acidification and loss of biodiversity, to name a few—Suzuki says this is the time to act. The Legacy is part autobiography, part history, part basic science—and above all, a plea for the planet. Buy it.” National Post, Sep 19, 2010 Read more >>Read more about The Legacy >> |

The Legacy“Readers…will find Suzuki's tangential musings on subjects like argon molecules, shrinking swordfish, or the role of salmon in fertilizing forests some of the book's best reading…at the core of his writing lurks a scientist's wonder at the world, and a compelling sincerity that makes you believe—or at least, want to believe—[there is] still some hope for this muddled planet.” Winnipeg Free Press, Sep 10, 2010 Read more >>Read more about The Legacy >> |
The Legacy"The 'legacy' in this lecture is one of truthful words about the hard place we're in, but it's also one of hopeful words: our chance if we will take it for 'opportunity, beauty, wonder and companionship with the rest of creation.' My hope is that we ourselves will emulate David Suzuki and leave legacies in our turn." Margaret Atwood, Sep 8, 2010 Read more about The Legacy >> |
The Legacy"Occasionally we encounter someone who appeals to the better angels of our nature and reminds us of values we once held dear. For me that person was David Suzuki. It was a privilege and a joy collaborating with him on this project for the past two years and I take great pride in the result." Sturla Gunnarsson, Aug 27, 2010 Read more about The Legacy >> |
