"

In this revised and fully up to date edition of From Naked Ape to Superspecies, David Suzuki and Holly Dressel describe how we have evolved beyond our needs, trampling other species in the process. 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 powerful herbicides or genetically engineered crops — is threatening the health of our children and the safety of our food supply. But it's not too late to change our course.

From Naked Ape to Superspecies shows us that we are at a turning point — we can either push ahead on our path to destruction or we can reshape our place in nature and prosper. A new introductory chapter provides an overview of how the world has changed since the first edition was published. The final chapter of the book has been revised, and new examples and analyses have been added to the existing chapters throughout the book.

Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Foundation.

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
When we began work on the first edition of this hook at the very end of the twentieth century, it was becoming clear that the environmental goals put forth with so much hope at the focal points of decades of environmental activism, the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro back in 1992, were not only unable to keep up with increasing environmental degradation, they were under relentless assault by mainstream economic and political forces. Read the first page

Depressing but realistic snapshot of where the human race is, and where we're heading. Handbasket, anyone?

Great book! I am impressed by how thorough and how interesting it is. It is chock full of information but very well written and easy to read. You don't have to be a scientist or stereotypical environmentalist to find this book interesting and compelling. I highly recommend it!
