About This Item
London: Headline, 2014. Cloth, viii, 344 pages; 25 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "Humans have subdued 75 percent of the land surface, concocted a wizardry of industrial and medical marvels, strung lights all across the darkness. We tinker with nature at every opportunity; we garden the planet with our preferred species of plants and animals, many of them invasive; and we have even altered the climate, threatening our own extinction. Yet we reckon with our own destructive capabilities in extraordinary acts of hope-filled creativity ... Ackerman [explores] our new reality, introducing us to many of the people and ideas now creating--perhaps saving--our future and that of our fellow creatures." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
