Weaving together lyrical observations of the natural world and searing political commentary, Ehrlich shows how the most radical step we can take is to radically alter our relationship to the planet. From grassroots activism to shifting cultural narratives, her essays chart a path towards a more just and sustainable future. At its heart, this is a stirring meditation on how to live with purpose in the face of overwhelming environmental devastation.
