Bøger af Andrew Revkin

In this reissue of the environmental classic The Burning Season, with a new introduction by the author, Andrew Revkin artfully interweaves the moving story of Chico Mendes's struggle with the broader natural and human history of the world's largest tropical rain forest. "e;It became clear,"e; writes Revkin, acclaimed science reporter for The New York Times, "e;that the murder was a microcosm of the larger crime: the unbridled destruction of the last great reservoir of biological diversity on Earth."e; In his life and untimely death, Mendes forever altered the course of developmin the Amazon, and he has since become a model for environmental campaigners everywhere.
