In twenty short books Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement. In The
Democracy of Species Robin Wall Kimmerer guides us towards a more reciprocal grateful and
joyful relationship with our animate earth from the wild leeks in the field to the deer in the
woods. Over the past 75 years a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably
altered by humans visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the
planet and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through
the decades becoming the classics of a movement. Together these books show the richness of
environmental thought and point the way to a fairer saner greener world.
