“An immense book that confronts the biggest question we’ll ever face: Do we humans have it in us to square with nature before it’s too late?” —ALAN WEISMAN, author of The World Without Us
“The Fate of Nature is an important and compelling read. Wohlforth develops critical, unexamined issues about our relationship to nature through the vivid characters and magnificent landscapes of coastal Alaska. You’ll be intrigued, and you may be changed.”—ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.
“The great question--to be settled in the next few decades--is whether 'human nature' will force us to wreck our planet, or whether it will turn out to be the saving grace. Charles Wohlforth doesn't make assumptions--he makes sense. And hopeful sense at that!”—BILL MCKIBBEN, author of Deep Economy
