This is an absolutely beautiful book with very well organized information. I loved all the illustrations, and really liked how each ecosystem page was set up, with general information, fun facts, biggest benefits, and biggest threats. The threats were addressed particularly well, emphasizing climate change as the biggest threat to all habitats, and at the same time being hopeful about changes that are being made in local communities. There were small references to colonialism and its impact on environments, but I wish there was more. I also wish Ignotofsky had incorporated more quotes from non-white, non-male naturalists and authors (she occasionally has a relevant quote about the beauty or benefit of a particular ecosystem) - I was surprised that she didn't, considering her other books like "Women in Science". Nonetheless, I think this would be a great starting point to get kids inspired about an ecology research project in my high school class.
