Released on Earth Day 2008, “American Earth: Environmental Writing Since Thoreau,” was edited by renowned author and movement organizer Bill McKibben and with a forward by Al Gore. <BR/><BR/>The first attempt to bring together in one place all the essential writings for the American environmental movement, American Earth is being called the “environmentalist’s bible.” It has started to gain mainstream accolades from the likes of U.S. News & World Report and The Boston Globe, which called it “the best resource between two covers” for anyone seeking to understand the “historical and intellectual roots of today's environmental movement.”<BR/><BR/>The book has already been adopted into university curricula around the country, and environmental action groups like Earthjustice and the National Resources Defense Council have pegged this anthology of environmental literature a must-read.<BR/><BR/>At a time when being “green” is all the rage, this book is a great resource for anyone wanting a better foundation upon which to understand global climate change and other important environmental issues that have finally caught the attention of policymakers and leaders worldwide.<BR/><BR/>Check out the book’s website at www.americanearth.org. It’s worth a look!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
