Audie Award Finalist, Non-Fiction, 2014
Reissued on the 10th anniversary of its publication, this classic work
on our environmental crisis features a new introduction by the author,
reviewing both the progress and ground lost in the fight to save the
Earth.
This impassioned plea for radical and life-renewing change is today
still considered a groundbreaking work in environmental studies.
McKibben's argument that the survival of the globe is dependent on a
fundamental, philosophical shift in the way we relate to nature is more
relevant than ever. McKibben writes of our Earth's environmental
cataclysm, addressing such core issues as the greenhouse effect, acid
rain, and the depletion of the ozone layer. His new introduction
addresses some of the latest environmental issues that have risen during
the 1990s.
More than simply a handbook for survival or a doomsday catalog of
scientific prediction, this classic, soulful lament on nature is
required reading for nature enthusiasts, activists, and concerned
citizens alike.
