Down to the Wire- Confronting Climate Collapse

Down to the Wire: Confronting Climate Collapse - $285

14 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

“The real fault line in American politics is not between liberals and conservatives…. It is, rather, in how we orient ourselves to the generations to come who will bear the consequences, for better and for worse, of our actions.” So writes David Orr in Down to the Wire, a sober and eloquent assessment of climate destabilization and an urgent call to action. Orr describes how political negligence, an economy based on the insatiable consumption of trivial goods, and a disdain for […]

All Natural*- *A Skeptic's Quest to Discover If the Natural Approach to Diet, Childbirth, Healing, and the Environment Really Keeps Us Healthier and Happier

All Natural*: *A Skeptic’s Quest to Discover If the Natural Approach to Diet, Childbirth, Healing, and the Environment Really Keeps Us Healthier and Happier – $360

8 February, 2013 by rgonzalezr

In this age of climate change, killer germs, and obesity, it’s easy to feel as if we’ve fallen out of synch with the global ecosystem. This ecological anxiety has polarized us: many are drawn to natural solutions and organic lifestyles, while others rally around high-tech development and industrial efficiencies. Johnson argues that both views, when taken to extremes, can be harmful, even deadly. Johnson, raised in the crunchy-granola epicenter of Nevada City, California, lovingly and rigorously scrutinizes his family’s all-natural […]

Ecopsychology- Science, Totems, and the Technological Species

Ecopsychology: Science, Totems, and the Technological Species – $525

24 January, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  We need nature for our physical and psychological well-being. Our actions reflect this when we turn to beloved pets for companionship, vacation in spots of natural splendor, or spend hours working in the garden. Yet we are also a technological species and have been since we fashioned tools out of stone. Thus one of this century’s central challenges is to embrace our kinship with a more-than-human world–”our totemic self”–and integrate that kinship with our scientific culture and technological selves. […]

Dreaming-the-Future-Ausubel-Kenny

Dreaming the Future: Reimagining Civilization in the Age of Nature – $275

21 January, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Few would deny that we are entering a period of great change. Our environment is collapsing. Social disruption abounds. All around, it seems, we are experiencing breakdown. But out of this chaos comes the opportunity for breakthrough-the opportunity to reimagine our future. In Dreaming the Future, Kenny Ausubel leads us into that possible new world and introduces us to the thinkers and doers who are-sometimes quietly, sometimes not-leading what he calls “a revolution from the heart of nature and the human […]

What the Robin Knows: How Birds Reveal the Secrets of the Natural World – $345

17 December, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  A lifelong birder, tracker, and naturalist, Jon Young is guided in his work and teaching by three basic premises: the robin, junco, and other songbirds know everything important about their environment, be it backyard or forest; by tuning in to their vocalizations and behavior, we can acquire much of this wisdom for our own pleasure and benefit; and the birds’ companion calls and warning alarms are just as important as their songs. Birds are the sentries—and our key to […]

The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry – $295

17 December, 2012 by rgonzalezr

The Art of the Commonplace gathers twenty-one essays by Wendell Berry that offer an agrarian alternative to our dominant urban culture. These essays promote a clearly defined and compelling vision important to all people dissatisfied with the stress, anxiety, disease, and destructiveness of contemporary American culture. Why is agriculture becoming culturally irrelevant, and at what cost? What are the forces of social disintegration and how might they be reversed?

Deforesting the Earth- From Prehistory to Global Crisis

Deforesting the Earth: From Prehistory to Global Crisis – $545

3 December, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Published in 2002, Deforesting the Earth was a landmark study of the history and geography of deforestation. Now available as an abridgment, this edition retains the breadth of the original while rendering its arguments accessible to a general readership.Deforestation—the thinning, changing, and wholesale clearing of forests for fuel, shelter, and agriculture—is among the most important ways humans have transformed the environment. Surveying ten thousand years to trace human-induced deforestation’s effect on economies, societies, and landscapes around the world, Deforesting the Earth is the preeminent […]

lucas foglia a natural order

A Natural Order – $1,295

5 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

In the summer of 2006, Lucas Foglia set out to photograph a network of people who had left cities and suburbs to live off the grid in the rural southeastern United States. Many were motivated by environmental concerns, others were driven by religious beliefs or predictions of economic collapse. While everyone he photographed was working to maintain self-sufficiency, none lived in complete isolation from the mainstream. Instead, they chose which parts of the modern world to embrace and which to […]

How to Think Seriously About the Planet- The Case for an Environmental Conservatism

How to Think Seriously About the Planet: The Case for an Environmental Conservatism – $395

29 October, 2012 by rgonzalezr

The environment has long been the undisputed territory of the political Left, which casts international capitalism, consumerism, and the over-exploitation of natural resources as the principle threats to the planet, and sees top-down interventions as the most effective solution.In How to Think Seriously About the Planet, Roger Scruton rejects this view and offers a fresh approach to tackling the most important political problem of our time. The environmental movement, he contends, is philosophically confused and has unrealistic agendas. Its sights are […]

Dirt- The Erosion of Civilizations

Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations – $255

19 October, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Dirt, soil, call it what you want–it’s everywhere we go. It is the root of our existence, supporting our feet, our farms, our cities. This fascinating yet disquieting book finds, however, that we are running out of dirt, and it’s no laughing matter. An engaging natural and cultural history of soil that sweeps from ancient civilizations to modern times, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations explores the compelling idea that we are–and have long been–using up Earth’s soil. Once bare of protective vegetation […]

Staying Alive- Women, Ecology, and Development

Staying Alive: Women, Ecology, and Development – $275

18 October, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  A feminist and environmental justice classic, with a new introduction by Vandana Shiva Since at least the days of Francis Bacon, the dominant view in the western world has framed technological and economic development as progress and championed that same narrow vision of “progress” as inherently benevolent and inevitable. Multinational corporations, the IMF and World Bank, national governments, and humanitarian organizations regularly promote development as the only road to security—but those being “developed” know otherwise. Staying Alive makes clear why […]

Garbage Land: On the Secret Trail of Trash – $200

12 September, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  The wild adventure begins once our trash hits the canas Elizabeth Royte boldly follows the things weve disposed of to their ultimate (often surprising) destination. Her highly praised book melds science, travel, anthropology, and a strong dose of clear-headed analysis as it reminds us how our decisions about consumption and waste have a very real impact. To ponder waste disposal is to confront the very limits of our society. Where does it all go? Most of us are content […]

LOST FISH

LOST FISH – $990

5 April, 2012 by rgonzalezr

With more than two hundred richly colored, painstakingly detailed antique illustrations, Lost Fish offers a chance to meditate on the dazzling beauty of marine life before it is too late. Culled from rare 19th century scientific volumes, these stunning prints testify to the age’s curiosity about the natural world, which spurred legendary writers to expound on the beauty of creation and naturalists like Linnaeus, Buffon, and his successor, the Comte de Lacepede, to catalogue the species around them. Today, only […]
