Bill McKibben's first book, the bestselling The End of Nature,
offered a devastating portrait of the harm human civilization has
done to the planet. Hope, Human and Wild sets out on a dramatically
different journey to provide examples and hope for a sustainable
future, one in which our society's wealth is measured less by its
material productivity and more by its spiritual richness; less by
its consumption of resources and more by the extent to which we
live in harmony with the natural world. From the Adirondack
Mountains to Kerala, India, to Curitiba, Brazil, McKibben offers
clear-eyed and profoundly compelling portraits of places where
resourceful people have confronted modern problems with inventive
solutions, and thrived in the process. With an afterword by the
author updating developments over the decade since the book was
first published, this edition provides a badly needed vision of
optimism for the future of our planet.
