Reviews

Andrew McMurry is the vibrant bard of our 'sad apocalypse' -- brilliantly literate, always entertaining, a 'corrective to [our]...blind faith in progress and human exceptionalism.' This supremely realistic book, the best I have read in a long time, shows that there is still a way to live -- to more than survive -- without indulging in the illusory comforts and false hopes that keep us from seeing the sharp rocks so close ahead. --David Ehrenfeld, author of The Arrogance of Humanism and Becoming Good Ancestors: How We Balance Nature, Community, and Technology --David Ehrenfeld
