Hope, Human and Wild: True Stories of Living Lightly on the Earth

Bill McKibben's first book, the best-selling The End of Nature, caused an international stir with its portrait of the harm our society has done to the planet. But now McKibben sets out on a different journey, from his home in the Adirondack Mountains to a city in Brazil and a state in India, in search of realistic hope for the Earth. Hope, Human and Wild is an extraordinary tale of the author's travels to places that have made the most of their limited resources. Their triumphs convince McKibben that we can help the world recover from some of the damage we have done.
