A Natural History of Now: Reports from the Edge of Nature

"Essays and short stories that engage the full human predicament of our lovely, violated planet - in prose of remarkable edge and grace. This is "nature writing" for a new century, overturning familiar pieties and finding new ones, telling the truth about our collective misdeeds while celebrating wild resilience - indoors and out, in cities and wilderness, in unforgettable characters and in perspectives that may change the way you look at nature forever."
