What can we do to protect animals on our planet? Watch this video trailer for the book. Could you make your own trailer for this book (or another one of your favourite books)?

Pequeñas motas de polvo existiendo por un momento. Arrojados a través del espacio y el tiempo, tan solo para brillar por unos momentos. Estos momentos son todo lo que tenemos en esta vida. Trabajamos, reímos, lloramos, hacemos el amor, escribimos libros, construimos imperios, creamos guerras. A menudo tratamos de ignorar el hecho de que estos momentos son temporales. Que todos nuestros imperios y el producto nacional bruto, que nuestro arte y nuestra literatura, que nuestros pantalones de diseñador de trescientos dólares, que todo nuestro conocimiento y tecnología, creatividad y legado será borrado. Todo va a desaparecer en algún punto junto a todo lo demás.
