Overview

More than simply a handbook for survival or a doomsday catalogue of scientific prediction, this volume is a plea for radical and life-renewing change. Bill McKibben argues that our view of nature, its role in our lives and consciousness, has irretrievably altered. He argues passionately that if the world is to survive, we have to rethink this relationship. For this edition, Bill McKibben has updated all the statistical information and written a new introduction which sets out how much has changed - both for better and for worse - in the last fourteen years.
