Writer, environmental activist, and farmer Wendell Berry addresses our ongoing environmental crisis in 11 essays "filled with beautiful, compassionate writing and careful, profound thinking" (Associated Press).
The planet's environmental problems respect no national boundaries. From soil erosion and population displacement to climate change and failed energy policies, American governing classes are paid by corporations to pretend that debate is the only democratic necessity and that solutions are capable of withstanding endless delay. Late Capitalism goes about its business of finishing off the planet. And we citizens are left with a shell of what was once proudly described as The American Dream. In this collection of 10 essays, Berry confronts head-on the necessity of clear thinking and direct action. Never one to ignore the present challenge, he understands that only clearly stated questions support the understanding their answers require. For more than 50 years we've had no better spokesman and no more eloquent advocate for the planet, for our families, and for the future of our children and ourselves.
