Coral
by Steve Jones
The book is full of a great mass of not always relevant, but always fascinating, elements, an incredibly eclectic collection of things to do with coral and man’s relation with coral. Jones shows how coral, over the eons, has served an amazing service to the planet by absorbing vast amounts of carbon. But, as we burn off the carbon, it warms the oceans, and that threatens the coral. For a science book – for any book – it’s a fantastic read.
