    Hello Sainath

    Thank you for the recommendation! As the name of the book suggests, ¡®African Perspective?? seems to covers fauna and flora of Africa and ways to preserve it. Also, it??s noticeable that this book starts with the very beginning of the earth and illustrates how the earth has transformed. Thank you for sharing your report with us!

    Dear Sainath,

    It seems like this time you've written about a non-fictional book about the environment.
    To a person who is oblivious about our environment, this book seems like a great start.

    Thank you for the introduction!
