The Autobiography by Mark Rutherford

"The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford"(1881) has long been recognized as one of the minor classics of Victorian fiction. William Hale White, himself an apostate from Calvinism, recounts the compelling story of a young dissenting clergyman who loses his faith and is forced to rebuild his life in the sceptical atmosphere of London. This edition also includes the short story, "A Mysterious Portrait", and two essays - "Notes on the Book of Job" and "Principles".

Mark Rutherford is an Australian who has spent a lot of time in the United States. He's traveled all around the world, including thousands of miles at sea in both huge and tiny ships. He went on to become a corporate expert in energy efficiency, and he's seen innumerable opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions squandered due to inaction and ideological differences. He's seen firsthand the pollution in our oceans, as well as the reduction and extinction of species.
