Elizabeth Kolbert’s “Life on a Little-Known Planet” receives starred review from Kirkus!

“The author’s emphasis on the particular, and her quirky sense of humor—evident, for example, in her descriptions of her adventures in beekeeping as documented in “Stung”—make the pieces fascinating variations on a complicated theme in which despair and hope dance together… Thought-provoking speculations about a world on the edge of violent change.”
