David Suzuki: The Autobiography : My Life as an Outsider (2006)
Book Description
The first volume of David Suzuki’s autobiography, <i>Metamorphosis,</i> looked back at his life from 1986, when he was 50. In this eagerly awaited second installment, Suzuki, now 70, reflects on his entire life — and on his hopes for the future. The book begins with his life-changing encounters with racism while interned in a Canadian concentration camp during World War II and continues through his troubled teenage years and later successes as a scientist and host of PBS's <i>The Nature of Things.</i> With characteristic candor and passion, he describes his growing consciousness of the natural world and humankind’s precarious place in it; his travels throughout the world and his meetings with international leaders, from Nelson Mandela to the Dalai Lama; and the abiding role of nature and family in his life. <i>David Suzuki</i> is an intimate and inspiring look at one of the most uncompromising people on the planet.
