It took me awhile to finish, but that doesn't mean its not an interesting and enlightening book. The discussion of migration is very relevant in current politics, and Shah shows how biologists and politicians have misunderstood the whys and hows of migration from the start. 4 💥💥💥💥

5th book finished for #OutstandingOctober readathon, barely squeaked it under the wire @Andrew65

This was an informative book about how plants, insects and people move all over the world. Indeed, people and various organisms have been moving through time and place all over this planet for generation's and centuries.

There's a lot of history and diving deep into how xenophobia has developed in America and other countries. This is a very important read for our time as we see a large portion of people.move due to civil unrest.

coffees This sounds interesting! 5y

I need to put together a list of books that one should read or listen to. I am listening to this book and I really think I should have bought it and read it. It's excellent but there is a lot going on here and it's easy to get lost or to drift off while she's talking. Good book

Scochrane26 I have found that I do better w/ audiobooks that are NF or don‘t have many characters to keep up with. 5y
rsteve388 This one is NF and it's good but there are a lot of details to this book that are hard to.keep.up.with. 5y
