Simon Barnes - The Green Planet

Thanks to everyone at Penguin Random House, especially Laura Barwick, who organised the illustrations, the designer Bobby Birchall and copy editor Steve Tribe. I owe special thanks to Michael Bright, who coordinated the whole thing. Thanks as always to everyone at Georgina Capel Associates, especially to Irene Baldoni. And thanks for everything to Cindy, Joseph and Eddie.
