In twenty short books Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement. In The
Dragonfly Will Be the Messiah the celebrated pioneer of the 'do-nothing' farming method
reflects on global ecological trauma and argues that we must radically transform our
understanding of both nature and ourselves in order to have any chance of healing. 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.
