A stunning, passionately argued look at what we are doing to damage nature and what this will mean for our collective futures ____________________ 'McKibben was one of the first to write clearly about global warming ... his plea for us to adopt a simple life is still profound' - Independent 'A kind of song for the wild, a lament for its loss, and a plea for its restoration' - New York Review of Books ____________________ More than simply a handbook for survival or a doomsday catalogue of scientific prediction, The End of Nature is a plea for radical and life-renewing change. McKibben argues that our view of nature, its role in our lives and consciousness, has irretrievably altered. He argues passionately that if the world is to survive, we have to rethink this relationship. What McKibben says is as relevant now as it was when The End of Nature was first published in 1989.
