30 second books are absolutely amazing for all ages. Wonderfully illustrated, short explanations. Buy them, gift them to people, learn.

I learned so much but wow I really need a physical copy of this to properly digest! Very interesting and in depth despite the 30 seconds.

A beautiful book - but I was sent a version for my phone which was essentially a PDF, which meant it was incredibly hard to read without zooming in for every paragraph and moving back and forth. Happy to properly review with a print or kindle copy, but it wasn't really possible on my phone.

*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*

"Ecology links nature, people and planet in a single subject, seeking to understand the fundamentals of why nature works the way it does, and then taking thtlat understanding and applying it to pressing problems in conservation, habitat management, natural resource use and agriculture."

This book introduces main concepts in bite size chunks and covers a variety of sub topics of ecology. There are glossary sections, ecologist focuses providing a history of the people behind it all, and an index if you want to find something in particular.

Each section contains a 30-sec summary of the topic but along the sides, we also get shorter summaries, quotes, a quick biography and a 3-min summary if you want to go into more detail. The layout is easy to read and informative, giving you just the right amount of information.

It's an interesting book, not knowing much about ecology myself and it explains things well in a short amount of time. It's a bit of a slog to read cover to cover, but would make a good coffee table book to pick up for a quick bit of learning.
