Paperback thick octavo, very good condition, black & white vignettes, minor edgewear corners. 401 pp. A powerful mix of memoir and environmental expose by a pre-eminent American environmentalist, Derrick Jensen, who argues that modern industrial economy abuses the environment, destroying meaningful work, and disconnects us from the natural world. Also, a chronicle of his drive, as a young man, to transcend domestic abuse. Explains violence as a pathology that touches every aspect of our lives and indeed affects all aspects of life on Earth. Offers a challenging look at our worldwide sense of community and how we can make things better. N° de réf. du vendeur 17312
