In diesem Buch legen Jensen und seine Mitautoren haarklein dar, dass all die »Lösungen« schöner Schein sind und weit davon entfernt, in eine grüne Zukunft zu führen. Je länger wir vor dieser Wahrheit davonlaufen, desto schmerzhafter wird das Erwachen sein. Die Autoren dieses Buches fordern nichts anderes, als dass wir unsere Lebensweise grundlegend revidieren und uns auf die einzig wirkliche grüne Energie besinnen: Das Blattgrün der Pflanzen, ...

This is a hard-hitting and sometimes scathing critique of the current educational system that not only gives a hands-on method for learning how to write, but also a lesson on how to connect to the core of our creative selves.

At once a beautifully poetic memoir and an exploration of the various ways we live in the world, "A Language Older Than Words" explains violence as a pathology that touches every aspect of our lives and indeed affects all aspects of life on Earth.

Monsters is an illustrated collection of wild, weird, and whimsical tales with a twist. These stories are not about mythical creatures, here, the creatures speak for themselves. There's an orc who hates Tolkien, a young demon awash in teenage angst, an angel abandoned by Jesus who finds the Fates. Jensen creates a world both delicately dreamlike and all too real, where the villain is sometimes the victim and evil is not always what we thought....

From Derrick Jensen, acclaimed author of Endgame and The Culture of Make Believe, comes a prescient, thought-provoking collection of interviews with ten leading writers, philosophers, teachers, and activists. To function in this society, we are asked to live by lies: that humans have the right to take what they want from the earth without giving back, that knowledge is limited to that which can be quantified, that corporations and governments ...

Vast and underappreciated complexities of nonhuman life are explored in detail-from the cultures of pigs and prairie dogs, to the creative use of tools by elephants and fish, to the acumen of caterpillars and fungi. The paralysis of the scientific establishment on moral and ethi...
