The End of Nature, by Bill McKibben

First published in 1989 and since traslated into twenty languagges, The End of Nature has changed the way many people view the planet. In an impassioned plea for radical and life-renewing change, Bill McKibben argues that the survival of the globe is dependent on a fundamental philosophical shift in the way we relate to nature.

McKibben writes of Earth's environmental cataclysm, addressing such core issues as the greenhouse effect, acid rain, and the depltion of the ozone layer. More than simply a handbook for survival or a doomsday catalog of scientific predictions, this soulful lament is required reading for nature enthusiasts, activists, and concerned citizens alike.
