an incredibly heart-felt reminder about the delicate brilliance of life and humanities unchecked greed and exceptionalism.

This book is written by a famous Canadian scientist/environmentalist/writer - David Suzuki. He talks about the delicate balance between the air, soil, and water on the Earth that provide all living things with what they need to survive. He emphasizes that there is a deep connection between everything on Earth and when we, as humans, turn our back on that connection we suffer greatly.

A touch of dated thinking/language here and there, but still relevant and impactful for the most part.

The sloppy writing in this book reveals the sloppy thinking that accompanies it. I am embarrassed to admit that I helped fund this book. I agree with the message, but this terrible book does a disservice to the ideas that it presents. The writing itself is perhaps the worst I have ever seen published, even by a vanity press. There are many better books on this subject, don't read this one.

Fabulous read it a bout 13 years ago - very relevant today.
tangleroot_eli's review against another edition
I waited too long to read this. If I'd read it when it first came on my radar several years ago, I might've enjoyed it more (and actually finished it). Instead I found myself arguing constantly with the authors' not-particularly-nuanced arguments that needed a great deal of privilege checking. Ah well.
