David Suzuki has hosted some very fine "Nature of Things" tv shows on PBS. I have a dvd copy of one of his shows on "the Mystery of Mind." Suzuki combines the intelligence and dispassion of a good ecologist with an open-mindedness worthy of a philosophical journalist. His stories about his family -- especially his father and his environmentally active daughters -- are very heart-warming. He presents a scientifically valid yet spiritual view of the world in which we live.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tracing of David Suziki's life from his early encounters with racism through his life-long efforts to inform others of the need to safeguard the Earth's resources and his role to do something about it. This is indeed the story from the one who lived it of a great scientist and environmentalist. Highly recommended.
