This book is available and ready to be shipped.. Jules Pretty has written a moving collection of essays which explores humanity's relationship with the land, with animals and with food. He describes how our consumption eats up the earth's bounty without replacing it. He discusses the obesity crisis. He explores hunting and fishing as opposed to raising animals for food. He reviews all the ways in which man interacts--and interferes with--the living and non-living world around him. The Earth Only Endures is about our relations with nature, animals and places. Focusing on themes of connections and estrangement, it offers directions for an optimistic future. We are rendering our own world inhospitable, and in the process risk losing what it means to be human. This book reminds us of our connectedness to that world, and so inspires us to reclaim that relationship. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
