What do we do when our survival instincts no longer serve us? This is one of the questions being explored in this book. Thorough, well-written, and a bit scary. The author not only investigates the problems we are facing, but he also investigates solutions. This is a book that everyone should read. -Wanda Isle David Walter sets himself what seems an impossible narrative task: To understand why we're in this global, environmental crisis, and to offer a clear response toward sensible solutions. Walter does not beat the cultural guilt drum. Instead he presents us with the dance through the ages, revealing how one step led to another. Drawing from an exhaustive, thorough, and exemplary stack of sources, Walter reveals how he faced the conundrum facing all homo sapiens. The work is part manifesto, part natural history, and part anthropological thesis, braided together into an immensely readable narrative that had me thinking I was gathered at the dining table with a few of my closest friends, with Walter taking us from an initially fraught, hopeless assessment of our world toward the path illuminated by science and compassion for each other. -Susan Thurston Hamerski

Author Information

Life-long concerns with environmental problems plus a bachelor's degree in biology led Dave to the question of how humans could cause the environmental problems that we do, while every other species is constrained from creating these same problems. A master's degree in Public Policy provided a grounding in economics and policy dynamics and an understanding of how problems are solved at the political level.
