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.
