{"product_id":"keeping-the-wild-george-wuerthner-9781610915588","title":"Keeping the Wild: Against the Domestication of Earth","description":"Is it time to embrace the so-called \"Anthropocene\"--the age of human dominion--and to abandon tried-and-true conservation tools such as parks and wilderness areas? Is the future of Earth to be fully domesticated, an engineered global garden managed by technocrats to serve humanity? The schism between advocates of rewilding and those who accept and even celebrate a \"post-wild\" world is arguably the hottest intellectual battle in contemporary conservation.\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eKeeping the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e, a group of prominent scientists, writers, and conservation activists responds to the Anthropocene-boosters who claim that wild nature is no more (or in any case not much worth caring about), that human-caused extinction is acceptable, and that \"novel ecosystems\" are an adequate replacement for natural landscapes. With rhetorical fists swinging, the book's contributors argue that these \"new environmentalists\" embody the hubris of the managerial mindset and offer a conservation strategy that will fail to protect life in all its buzzing, blossoming diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith essays from Eileen Crist, David Ehrenfeld, Dave Foreman, Lisi Krall, Harvey Locke, Curt Meine, Kathleen Dean Moore, Michael Soulé, Terry Tempest Williams and other leading thinkers, \u003ci\u003eKeeping the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e provides an introduction to this important debate, a critique of the Anthropocene boosters' attack on traditional conservation, and unapologetic advocacy for wild nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Wuerthner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610915585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610915588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Foundations for Deep Ecology 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.13w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 473","brand":"George Wuerthner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991702143231,"sku":"9781610915588","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a76519f-743a-48bd-8c43-892fd54bd9d9.jpg?v=1683311737","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/keeping-the-wild-george-wuerthner-9781610915588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
