Excellent review… thanks!!

fyi… My wife, Connie Barlow is as you know a main character in Zach’s book. What you may not know is that she is also the lead editor of my post-doom conversations project that I invited you to participate in a few months ago. My latest contribution is the two-part video series, “Collapse and Adaptation Primer”, discussed near the top of the post-doom resources page, here: https://postdoom.com/resources/

Leon – I’m the “Connie Barlow” in your book review here. I’ve been a subscriber for well over a year. I knew your reviews were terrific, and this one I can say so from the platform of an expert — as, obviously, I have already read the book. Henceforth, when I am alerting people to “assisted migration” as a topic and to this book in particular, I shall send them to this post of yours. This morning I sent a lengthy detail-rich email to the forester running an online course this fall at the University of Minnesota. Course title: “Assisted Migration in Practice.” Rather than linking to Amazon or the publisher, I sent him to your review. Here is how I introduced your link:

“A superb science-orientated book review is perhaps the best place to get a quick and balanced summary: It is the book review blog called “The Inquisitive Biologist.” Over a thousand subscribers, including me for several years.”
