To tackle this major challenge, he studies the distribution and evolution of species and develops methods to speed up scientific discovery. His new book is: THE HIDDEN UNIVERSE which takes readers on an unforgettable tour of the natural world, showing how biodiversity - the rich variety of life in the world and in our own backyards - provides both the source and the salvation of our existence. He reveals the wonders of biodiversity at a genetic, species and ecosystem level - what it is, how it works, and why it's the most important tool in our battle against climate change.
