From his incongruously happy childhood in a World War II internment camp to being honored as a Companion of the Order of Canada, Suzuki's life has been one long adventure. Wearing myriad hatsâas an environmentalist, anthropologist, broadcaster, professor, philosopher, and scientistâSuzuki embarked on careers as a result of both his insatiable curiosity about the natural world and his outspoken advocacy for its preservation. Now in his eighth decade, Suzuki shows no sign of relinquishing the passion he has unabashedly felt for all cultures and all creatures. Whether participating in ancient tribal ceremonies with aboriginal elders in Papua, New Guinea, or discussing climate change with Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace, Suzuki's peripatetic pursuits have placed him at some of the most vulnerable and vital epicenters of the planet's ongoing struggle for survival. In a candid yet contemplative account of his personal and professional accomplishments, Suzuki's unbridled spirit shines throughout effervescent, behind-the-scenes tales of his perceptive and prescient lifelong crusade for responsible living.
