One of the top ten Scientific American books of 2023.
If forests are the lungs of the planet, then migratory animals raise the flag of life, crossing oceans, streams, and mountains, consuming, expelling, and dying during their journey. These processes transfer essential nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, from the deep seas to the mountain tops, ensuring life across the planet.
The dynamics shaping our natural world - atmospheric chemistry, geothermal forces, plate tectonics, and erosion by wind and rain - have been explored for many decades. However, the effects of less impressive forces like decaying organisms and fecal deposits on local ecosystems, as well as their influence on the global climate cycle, have been largely ignored. The simple truth is that expelling is a daily routine for almost all animals, an element of ecology that flows through life.
From the volcanoes of Iceland to the tropical waters of Hawaii, as well as the great plains of America's heartland, "Eat, Poop, Die" takes readers on a thrilling and enlightening global adventure, revealing the remarkable ways in which the most basic biological activities of animals shape and reshape the world - and how a deeper understanding of these cycles provides us opportunities to repair the environmental damage humanity has caused to our planet.
