conservation of wildlife, showing that protecting these creatures
isn't just an ethical choice, but a necessity for maintaining the
health of our planet."--Nicholas Vincent, One Green Planet
"One of those rare books that truly changes the way you look at the
world."--Lucy Cooke, Scientific American
"Absolutely fascinating. A compulsively readable scientific
exploration of earth's ability to sustain life, but also a
collection of entertaining anecdotes from Joe Roman's career as a
biologist who has spent a considerable amount of time studying...
well, poop. Eat, Poop, Die helped me better understand our planet
and gave me a fresh burst of motivation to advocate for
it."--Shelby Van Pelt, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures

approximately five gallons) about the importance of excrement makes
for perfect bathroom reading."--Tony Miksanek, Booklist

"With expert knowledge and wry humor, Roman returns animals to
their rightful place at the center of the environment."--Kirkus

about the many surprising threads that bind together the living
world. And his writing just happens to be so good that he sweeps a
reader along."--Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words and Alfie and
Me

appreciation and respect for the role that all the other animals on
this earth play in making it work."--Bill McKibben, author of The
End of Nature
