Query: Very Disappointing

I was really looking forward to reading this book, based on its premise, and the other reviews. I hoped it would expand and enlighten my own unarticulated thoughts on the human animal, and its disconnect from the natural world. I was so disappointed that the book, in my opinion, failed to really explore and run with this large and very important issue. I found the writing difficult, and it often seemed that Livingston was writing for an academic journal, and was mainly interested in discussing and rebutting esoteric points with his fellow ecologists, rather than exploring a larger and broader view of his subject for the general audience to whom the book was intended. I found the book tedious and repetitive, and a chore to read. The infrequent moments when the author did actually write clearly about his larger theme of humans as a species cut off from nature tended to be sarcastic quips against society, which I thought diminished the points he was trying to make.
