In 20 short books, Penguin Classics brings you the new canon of great environmental works
Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As humans have driven the living planet to the brink of collapse, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend it. Their words have endured, becoming the classics that define the environmental movement today.
Taking us on an extraordinary journey into the past and around the globe, from coral reefs to the North Pole, deserts to rainforests, Tim Flannery tells the story of the earth's climate, and how we have changed it.
Tim Flannery is director of the South Australian Museum in Adelaide. He is the author of nine books, including The Eternal Frontier, Throwim Way Leg and A Gap in Nature.
