Nature has always been a major element in poetry. Whether in free verse or traditional poetry, man's connection to nature has been explored in many different ways. Most nature poets, like Robert Frost, see that relationship as symbiotic, each gaining something by the association of one with another. This collection of poetry falls into that same vein. They deal with the simplicity of nature and how man and nature can co-exist, and how man can learn great lessons by making daily observations into the way nature works. Most of the poems are seen through the eyes of a young boy, who still sees the wonder that nature has to offer, and the boy learns daily lessons that he can apply to his own life. Some are whimsical, some are funny, and some more serious. Most of the poems have a lesson that can be taken from them if the reader just listens.

Reissued on the tenth anniversary of its publication, this classic work on our environmental crisis features a new introduction by the author, reviewing both the progress and ground lost in the fight to save the earth. This impassioned plea for radical and life-renewing change is today still considered a groundbreaking work in environmental studies. McKibben's argument that the survival of the globe is dependent on a fundamental, philosophical shift in the way we relate to nature is more relevant than ever. McKibben writes of our earth's environmental cataclysm, addressing such core issues as the greenhouse effect, acid rain, and the depletion of the ozone layer. His new introduction addresses some of the latest environmental issues that have risen during the 1990s. The book also includes an invaluable new appendix of facts and figures that surveys the progress of the environmental movement. More than simply a handbook for survival or a doomsday catalog of scientific prediction, this classic, soulful lament on Nature is required reading for nature enthusiasts, activists, and concerned citizens alike.
