If we don’t take care of our environment, it will later turn back on us to constitute our doom. Coming Full Circle by Budd Titlow is a book of 600 pages that takes us through generations of individuals who appreciated nature.

The book starts by telling us about two individuals: Strong Bow and Thaddeus Adams. These individuals had one thing in common: their love for nature. Later on, Thaddeus Adams led a group of individuals to the west to search for greener pastures. As days, years, and centuries went by, Thaddeus gave birth to children who gave birth to other children that shaped American history. As expected, the coming generations all shared their ancestor’s love for nature and did their best to make significant changes to the environment, which is sadly deteriorating. Read this book to find out the history of American environmental activities.

The author divided the book into books and different headlines and used highly standard diction. The book features the environment, nature, tradition, adventure, family, and care. The book took us to the 1800s, the beginning of America’s history, and brought us down to the 21st century. Its main focus was on the natural and environmental sectors of the country. It showed how industrialization and human activities had killed the natural vibes of the country. The author used descriptive words that gave a vivid image of events, places, plants, and animals. It helped me to visualize and understand better.

The book was very educational. Animals like bison made me run to the dictionary for an explanation. It was fascinating to read later that bison was another name for buffalo. The book mentioned different species of animals and plants with their characteristics and uses. I learned about various natural habitats and places like the Great Basin Plateau and Salt Lake. The author even described the complete procedure for hunting a buffalo. The beautiful thing was that the author did all these things through storytelling, which made it thrilling to read.

There are some things I don’t like about this book. The book started as an adventure but drifted to being solely about the environment and its well-being. It made it boring at some point. The book also included some terms I did not understand, and there was no glossary to help with interpretations. Also, I was expecting some news about the characters. Instead, after the author finishes a character’s story, the author does not mention them again. Therefore, I would rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I still enjoyed the book. I laughed out loud when Joshua fell on a cactus. The book was also professionally edited, as I found only a few errors while reading it.

I recommend this book to environmentalists and lovers of nature. History lovers and academics can also learn some things from this book.

I am a fan of nature myself, so I can already relate to the two main characters. I also cannot agree more with your opening paragraph. We need to take care of our planet, as climate is realer than most people think!

[Mozi Ken]

Nature is beautiful. Nature should be maintained. I would like to read about these people that loved nature and what they did to show their love for it. Good review.

[Larabs Josh]

Nature is a delicate part of the world that we must preserve and take care of. Unfortunately, humans contribute more to its destruction than its preservation.

[Chukwuemeka Ezema]

I love how this book centered on nature. Nature is a really important factor and it need to be taken care of. We see it declining due to the actions of humans and this should not be so. Great review.
