Reviews of “David Suzuki”
His new autobiography is sure to... provide you with the insight you need to understand the passion that drives this man. I strongly recommend picking up the book and showing your support... Scene Magazine (London, ON), Apr 13, 2006 |
"Suzuki now articulates a vision for the future that is hopeful and achievable, framed around the concept of think globally but act locally." Winnipeg Free Press, Apr 23, 2006 |
"The Autobiography is a strange, fascinating book, a celebration of gorgeousness amid adversity. ...Narrated with candid and simple language, this is a sad, honest passage, tragic and beautiful." The Globe & Mail, Apr 22, 2005 |
"...a touching, insightful book..." "In the end, what comes across in this book is Suzuki's passion, leavened with dry humour and a somewhat surprising tendency to poke fun at his own foibles." Gazette, The, May 20, 2006 |
"David Suzuki... boldly and courageously take[s] hold of the prophetic mirror. With stirringly hinest personal anecdotes and informed insider information, they alternately plead and warn as though the fire in [his] bones burned the words onto the page." The United Church Observer, Jul 1, 2006 |
"The book, like his life, is an inspiring one. Its lessons are numerous and include: work hard, nurture your passions, push for positive change and never give up." Imprint, Jun 30, 2006 |
"The forthright, chatty book mixes memoir and science, culminating with his thoughts, as an elder, on current affairs and his belief that personal meaning is to be found through family as much as through his accomplishments in the public sphere." Georgia Straight, The, Apr 27, 2006 |
This book "...shows the man who has become such a part of our national conscience: shy, passionate, a bit earnest, a bit goofy, eyes open to the world." "In writing about himself, Suzuki writes about the world." Quill & Quire, May 1, 2006 |
"Written in a very conversational style, this book is not a difficult read, and it is extremely engaging. Infused with his love and passion for the natural world and presented with a surprising amount of candour, readers get an excellent insight into Suzuki's life." Brandon Sun, The, Apr 30, 2006 |
"Suzuki is passionate about how humans can live in balance with the natural world, and in this book shares his hopes and visions for the future." Edmonton Life (Magazine), Jul 1, 2006 |
