The end of nature

Description

"First published in 1989 in seventeen languages on six continents, The End of Nature has changed the way many people view the planet. Now, in a special tenth anniversary edition, the author presents a new introduction for this classic work on our environmental crisis reviewing the progress made and ground lost in the fight to save the earth.". "An impassioned plea for radical and life-renewing change, it is still considered a groundbreaking work in environmental studies. Bill 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."--BOOK JACKET.
