"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. [] 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. 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 soulful lament on nature is required reading for nature enthusiasts, activists, and concerned citizens alike." [publisher copy] "By the end of nature Mr. McKibben means the end of nature as a force independent of man . . . for a man preaching apocalypse, he speaks in a measured and civilized voice that deserves a hearing."--New York Times Book Review. "Whatever we once thought Nature was--wildness, God, a simple place free from human thumbprints, or an intricate machinery sustaining life on Earth--we have now given it a kick that will change it forever. Humanity has stepped across a threshold. In his free-ranging and provocative book, Bill McKibben explores the philosophies and technologies that have brought us here, and he shows how final a crossing we have made."--James Gleick. "McKibben's eye-opening plea . . . may convert you, or it may infuriate you. But the world will never again look the same to you after you've read it."--Cleveland Plain Dealer. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine., Books<
