This new anthology from the Union of Concerned Scientists and Penguin Classics brings together established writers and fresh voices to inspire us with personal stories and reflections on global warming.
Following in a uniquely American tradition of environmental writing begun by Henry David Thoreau and continued by great writers from Rachel Carson to E.O. Wilson, Thoreau's Legacy enhances our appreciation of the world around us and galvanizes support to preserve it for future generations. The 67 pieces of writing and art included within are drawn from nearly a thousand submissions about beloved places, animals, plants, people, and activities at risk from a changing climate, and the personal efforts people are making to save what they love. A foreword on global warming from author Barbara Kingsolver helps to set the context.
This limited edition hardcover is based on the interactive version of the book found at www.ucsusa.org/americanstories.
