Summary

Ten years after this important book was first published, David Suzuki re-examines our place in the natural world in light of the recent sweeping environmental changes and advances in scientific knowledge. Since it was first published, The Sacred Balance has sold over 100,000 copies. Although the basic message of this seminal work remains, the cataclysmic events of the last decade require that we rethink our behaviour and find a new way to live in balance with our surroundings. In this new and extensively revised and amplified edition of his best-selling book, David Suzuki reflects on these events and examines what they mean for our place in the world. Book jacket.
