The talk covered almost nothing of the topic. It was more of an hour-long synopsis of her book. Even that isn't quite true, really it was an hour of "in my book I talk about" with no real content. Almost worthless, unless you want an hour-long intro to help you decide whether or not to read the book.

While this book was inspiring, very little of it was devoted to an actual exploration of the value of biodiversity. It was very short but entertaining.
