'Sensitive and provocative, a kind of song for the wild, a lament for its loss, and a plea for its restoration' - New York Review of Books 

'One of the first books about climate change. It set out in detail the facts about the rapidly increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and passionately entreated its readers to pay attention' - Guardian

'Permeated with the immediacy of the Adirondack Mountains, the trees he can see from his window, the changing seasons, the wild creatures he encounters. An extraordinary book' - Jonathon Porritt

  • Mô tả

One of the earliest warnings about climate change and one of environmentalism's lodestars

'Nature, we believe, takes forever. It moves with infinite slowness,' begins the first book to bring climate change to public attention.

Interweaving lyrical observations from his life in the Adirondack Mountains with insights from the emerging science, Bill McKibben sets out the central developments not only of the environmental crisis now facing us but also the terms of our response, from policy to the fundamental, philosophical shift in our relationship with the natural world which, he argues, could save us. A moving elegy to nature in its pristine, pre-human wildness, The End of Nature is both a milestone in environmental thought, indispensable to understanding how we arrived here.
