This captivating journey highlights the formation of caves through processes like the dissolution of carbonate rocks and the impact of groundwater, illustrating how these natural wonders are more than just static formations. The book reveals how caves serve as dynamic environments that reflect Earth's history, harboring diverse biological communities adapted to perpetual darkness.

    One woman's journey through South America - and the devastating story of our planet's disappearing biodiversity 
     
    Pedalling hard for thirteen months, eco adventurer Kate Rawles cycled the length of the Andes on an eccentric bicycle she built herself. The Life Cycle charts her mission to find out why biodiversity is so important, what's happening to it, and what can be done to protect it. 
     
    From the Pacific Ocean to rainforests and salt flats, Kate learns that armadillos can cross rivers by holding their breath, that Colombia has more species of birds than North America and Europe combined, and that in threatening species and ecosystems, we're tearing down our own life support system. En route, she witnesses the devastation of goldmining and oil drilling but finds hope in the incredible people working to regenerate habitats and communities. As she reaches the 'end of the world', she realises that to tackle biodiversity loss we all have a role to play.
