Here are some of America's greatest and most impassioned writers, taking a turn toward nature and recognizing the fragility of our situation on earth and the urgency of the search for a sustainable way of life. Thought-provoking essays on overpopulation, consumerism, energy policy, and the nature of "nature" join ecologists' memoirs and intimate sketches of the habitats of endangered species. The anthology includes a detailed chronology of the environmental movement and American environmental history, as well as an 80-page color portfolio of illustrations. 2234657 17 4 2008 American Earth: Environmental Writing Since Thoreau total:45|5:20|4:17|3:5|2:1|1:2| 45 187 181 15 4 0 false false Sat Jan 03 18:55:17 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 23:44:42 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 1 false false Tue Jul 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 16:54:06 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 18:48:13 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Dec 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 20:05:27 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 20:08:01 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Sep 01 16:59:15 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 17:04:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Feb 07 19:38:32 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 19:39:27 -0800 2009 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2008/12/b...
