Good News for a Change
"The on-going environmental crisis that we two authors have been writing about for the past twenty years really is a terrorist war, but it's one that we're waging against ourselves," write Suzuki (host of the TV series The Nature of Things) and Dressel (Suzuki's co-author on From Naked Ape to Superspecies). Yet the authors remain hopeful: because of the farmer protecting wild flora and fauna while raising cows and lambs for slaughter, the lumber company slicing trees but conserving bear and cougar habitat, the farmer who doesn't deplete soil and water, and new technologies that will someday "reduce, control, and even eliminate almost every form of pollution and toxin...."

Globalization and the Mission of the Church
Various social, political, economic and cultural commentators are presently arguing that human history is reaching a decisive stage in its development, a stage marked by increased interconnection between peoples, the compression of space and time, a sharing of ideas at unprecedented levels, global trade and finance, and so on. The shorthand word used to encompass these phenomena is "globalization". Some embrace it, others reject it, while still others dispute its existence.

From Naked Ape to Superspecies
For millennia, we lived in harmony with the Earth, taking only what we required to survive. But in just the past few centuries, we have used our powers to satisfy our obsession with consumption and new technology, without regard for the consequences. And in doing so, we have exploited our surroundings on an unprecedented scale. In this revised and updated edition of From Naked Ape to Superspecies, David Suzuki and Holly Dressel lucidly describe how we have evolved beyond our needs, trampling other species, believing that we can make the Earth work the way we want it to. And they introduce us to the people who are fighting back, those who are resisting the inexorable advance of the "global economy" juggernaut, the people whose voices are difficult to hear over the din of corporate public relations machines. We learn about how human arrogance—demonstrated by our disregard for the small and microscopic species that constitute the Earth’s engine and our reckless use of technological inventions like powerful herbicides or genetically engineered crops—is threatening the health of our children and the safety of our food supply.
