With lyrical evocations of nature and the wild, this book features essays that have charted the change in Kingsnorth's thinking. It articulates a vision that he calls 'dark ecology,' which stands firmly in opposition to the belief that technology can save us, and he argues for a renewed balance between the human and nonhuman worlds.

An exploration of the impact humans are having on the earth, award-winning essayist, Paul Kingsnorth questions how we might live in this changing world.
