The End of Nature

Reissued on the tenth anniversary of its publication, this classic work on our environmental crisis features a new introduction by the author, reviewing both the progress and the ground lost in the fight to save the earth.

This impassioned plea for radical, life-renewing change is still considered a groundbreaking work in environmental studies. McKibben's argument that the survival of the globe depends on a fundamental philosophical shift in how we relate to nature is more relevant than ever. McKibben writes about the environmental cataclysm of our planet, addressing fundamental issues such as the greenhouse effect, acid rain, and ozone depletion. His new introduction addresses some of the latest environmental issues that arose during the 1990s. The book also includes an invaluable new appendix of facts and figures that tracks the progress of the environmental movement.

More than just a survival manual or an apocalyptic catalogue of scientific predictions, this classic and moving lament for nature is a necessary read for nature lovers, activists, and concerned citizens.
