 benefit \n\nTwenty years ago, with The End of Nature, Bill McKibben offered 
 one of the earliest warnings about global warming. Those warnings went 
 mostly unheeded; now, he insists, we need to acknowledge that we’ve 
 waited too long, and that massive change is not only unavoidable but 
 already under way. Our old familiar globe is suddenly melting, drying, 
 acidifying, flooding, and burning in ways that no human has ever seen. 
 We’ve created, in very short order, a new planet, still recognizable but 
 fundamentally different. Call it eaarth.\n\nEaarth is a manifesto on the 
 new economic and cultural realities on a changed planet and suggestions for 
 the kind of change we’ll need in order to make our civilization 
 endure.\n\nBill McKibben brings a much needed sense of urgency to the issue 
 of climate change and offers his advice on how we can build rewarding lives 
 in this new reality.  \n\nBio: Bill McKibben is the author of The End of 
 Nature, Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age, and Deep Economy, among 
 other books. A former staff writer for the New Yorker, he writes regularly 
 for Harper’s, the Atlantic, and the New York Review of Books.\n\n“What 
 I have to say about this book is very simple: Read it, please. Straight 
 through to the end. Whatever else you were planning to do next, nothing 
 could be more important.”\n—Barbara Kingsolver, author of Animal, 
 Vegetable, Miracle\n\n“The terrifying premise with which this book begins 
 is that we have…landed on a harsh and unpredictable planet, all six 
 billion of us. Climate change is already here, but Bill McKibben doesn’t 
 stop with the bad news. He tours the best responses that are also already 
 here, and these visions of a practical scientific solution are also 
 sketches of a better, richer, more democratic civil society and everyday 
 life. Eaarth is an astonishingly important book that will knock you down 
 and pick you up.”   —Rebecca Solnit\n\n\n
