THE END OF
NATURE
http://billmckibben.com/end-of-nature.html
Reissued on
the tenth 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. The book also includes an invaluable new appendix of facts and figures
that surveys the progress of the environmental movement.
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.
