by Bill McKibben

 

This impassioned plea for radical and life-renewing change is still considered today 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. Required reading for nature enthusiasts, activists, and concerned citizens alike.
