You know that proverbial squirrel that could walk halfway across the continent without ever leaving a tree? Dave Foreman is plotting to make sure it happens again--a long time in the future, doubtless, but if we get behind his efforts it will be a real possibility. --Bill McKibben If Rewilding North America can't stop the rising tide of extinction, then nothing will. Realistic in its assessment of the causes of extinction and the challenges ahead, Foreman's ethically leavened and scientifically grounded arguments for rewilding promote hope. More than a 'book of the year, ' Rewilding North America makes clear the conservation and restoration agenda for the century. --Max Oelschlaeger Foreman has created a masterful blend of history, science, and vision. Rewilding North America takes the reader through the often gloomy history of conservation and destruction in North America during the last century, paints an inspired but achievable future for wildlife and wildplaces, and asks each of us to take deliberate action to secure this vision. This book offers practical lessons from one who has long been speaking (and acting) for the preservation of wilderness. --Deborah B. Jensen
