"Filled with facts, the voices of other children, great photographs and thoughts on action and ecology, Nowhere Else on Earth is a 21st century look at the beauties of the region as well as the dangers it faces from a world gone mad...The first small thing might be making certain this book gets into the hands of the children who will manifest that change."-- "January Magazine, Best Books of 2011"
"Sigh. If only textbooks were this cool, I think our offspring might all mobilize faster than we can say 'veggie oil school buses'...Nowhere Else on Earth is not just non-fiction; it's amazing and humble coffee table or bed-time reading for child and adult alike. Caitlyn Vernon has written a beautiful book full of great photos, bright illustrations, and textual insights into the ecological dream world that is the Great Bear Rainforest...Not only is it a fantastic journey into the interconnectedness of the British Columbian landscape (that of Turtle island), but it is in fact, fact: straight up, legitimate scientific, historical and cultural information, presented and explained without judgment and/or minimizing the impact or potential. Like the tree on the cover, this book should grow to be massive, and if permitted to do so, would inspire and provide for generations."-- "EcoParent Magazine"
"The author's passion for her topic is clearly evident in the depth of research and detail presented here...Readers who finish Nowhere Else on Earth will be well informed and motivated to discuss and perhaps plan future actions of their own... A valuable book for the times, giving insight into past, present and possible futures for the Earth. Highly Recommended."-- "CM Magazine"
"A passionate plea to cut back, reuse and become involved in collective action."
"While the author comes down firmly on the side of conservation, she presents a balanced and sensitive view of what has driven, and what still drives, people to not conserve...The short chapters, lavishly illustrated with photographs, are divided into easy-to-read segments. This is a very readable and accessible book that will appeal to all ages...This is an inspiring book that anyone interested in conserving our planet should read. Vernon's motivating vision for the future reinforces just how connected we all are-not just to this rainforest but to everywhere on Earth."
