Reviews for 'The Decline & Fall of the Human Empire'

Advance Praise...

Put this at the head of your reading lists immediately people. Before it’s too late - Eric Idle, author and comedian.  

With wit, wisdom and erudition, Henry Gee’s Decline and Fall thinks big, laying out a bold and provocative vision for the possible futures of humankind - Philip Ball, author of How Life Works. 

A fascinating, deeply researched study of our evolutionary journey - Michael Bond, author of Wayfinding.

Compulsory reading for all humans. Mandatory for politicians - John Long, author of The Secret History of Sharks.

Henry Gee is a sage - Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of Dinosaurs.

Reviews ...

Gee takes a surprisingly lighthearted approach, with frequent quips and allusions to pop culture. Given the seriousness of the subject, this makes for a more enjoyable read than one might expect - Kirkus Reviews
