About this title

From the Author:

A sample review:
"Our technological civilization is speeding toward a violent collision with nature, and we are threatening the ability of Earth--our home--to support life as we know it. Suzuki and Knudtson's extraordinary work powerfully reminds us that we are indeed one with the Earth. We are truly indebted to them for charting for us the course toward a healthy and sustaining relationship with our planet."

-Vice President Al Gore
