In twenty short books Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement. An Idea
Can Go Extinct is Bill McKibben's impassioned groundbreaking account of how by changing the
earth's entire atmosphere the weather and the most basic forces around us 'we are ending
nature.' 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.
