Five compelling essays and fifty stunning portraits and profiles of
American environmental activists This second volume in the
Americans Who Tell the Truth series features Robert Shetterly's
magnificent color portraits and profiles of fifty environmental and
climate activists—people who diagnose the truth of the greatest
crisis humanity has ever confronted and take action. The book also
features original essays by revered environmentalists Bill
McKibben, Leah Penniman, Diane Wilson, Bill Bigelow, and Robin Wall
Kimmerer, whose words illuminate the plight and its causes, and
point a way forward. Along with the genocide of Indigenous peoples
and the institution of slavery, the third tragic and persistent
mistake of the leaders of this country was to attempt to separate
economic and political culture from the laws of nature—to operate
on the basis that nature could be exploited endlessly for profit.
The damage done to the Earth and to the future of life on the
planet is incalculable. The people portrayed here have bought
warnings, offered solutions, and organized movements to restore
ecological sanity.
