 irreversibly, but by no means all for the bad. Our new epoch is laced with 
 invention. Our mistakes are legion, but our talent is immeasurable." - 
 Diane Ackerman\n\n"Diane Ackerman's vivid writing, inexhaustible stock of 
 insights, and unquenchable optimism have established her as a national 
 treasure and as one of our greatest authors...If you haven't read her 
 previous books, you're now about to become addicted to Diane Ackerman." \n- 
 Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and 
 Steel\n\nOur finest literary interpreter of science and nature, Ackerman is 
 justly celebrated for her unique insight into the natural world and our 
 place (for better and worse) in it. In this landmark book, she confronts 
 the unprecedented fact that the human race is now the single dominant force 
 of change on the planet. Humans have "subdued 75% of the land surface, 
 concocted a wizardry of industrial and medical marvels, strung lights all 
 across the darkness. We now collect the DNA of vanishing species in a 
 "frozen ark," equip orangutans with iPads, create wearable technologies and 
 synthetic species that might one day outsmart us.\n\nDiane Ackerman has 
 been the finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction. She is the author 
 of The Zookeeper's Wife, A Natural History of the Senses, An Alchemy of 
 Mind, Jaguar of Sweet Laughter, Dawn Light, and One Hundred Names for Love, 
 among many other exceptional books.\n\nProfessor Vijaya Nagarajan teaches 
 courses on Hinduism, Religion and Environment, Spiritual Autobiography, and 
 Community Internships. Her other research projects include: On the 
 Languages of the Commons; Tree Temples, Mangroves and Temple Forests.\n
