Description
Bill McKibben's landmark work—the first book written for a general audience about climate change, published in 1989 and still as urgent and as intellectually serious as when it first appeared—makes the case with scientific rigor and moral passion that human interference with the natural world has already ended nature as an independent force and transformed it into something dependent on human choices. Written with the clarity and the genuine urgency of someone who understood the stakes before almost anyone else, this is essential reading for every person who wants to understand the crisis and why it took so long to be taken seriously. A genuinely important work.
