{"product_id":"the-derrick-jensen-reader-derrick-jensen-9781609804046","title":"The Derrick Jensen Reader: Writings on Environmental Revolution","description":"In an age marked by seemingly unstoppable environmental collapse and the urgent quest for solutions, environmental philosopher Derrick Jensen, the voice of the growing deep ecology movement, reveals for us new seeds of hope. Here for the first time in \u003ci\u003eThe Derrick Jensen Reader\u003c\/i\u003e are collected generous selections from his prescient, unflinching books on the problem of civilization and the path to true resistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eA Language Older Than Words\u003c\/i\u003e, Jensen dissects his own abusive childhood to examine the pathology of Western culture and shares with us the power and beauty of an alliance with the natural world. He continues to use the lens of his own experience as well as the wisdom of philosophers, activists, and teachers to expose oppression and call us to action in his other early works, \u003ci\u003eListening to the Land\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Culture of Make Believe\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStrangely Like War\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWalking on Water\u003c\/i\u003e. We see his analysis deepen when he asks us to accept that the only moral response to biocide is resistance in the two-volume \u003ci\u003eEndgame\u003c\/i\u003e, a truth he explores further in \u003ci\u003eThought to Exist in the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhat We Leave Behind\u003c\/i\u003e, the graphic novel \u003ci\u003eAs The World Burns\u003c\/i\u003e, and in his two novels, \u003ci\u003eSongs of the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLives Less Valuable\u003c\/i\u003e. And in \u003ci\u003eDreams\u003c\/i\u003e, Jensen's latest work, he leads us still further toward his vision for a healed planet, freeing us to see beyond the limits of our present culture to a future luminous with meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derrick Jensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 160980404X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609804046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.80w x 1.23d","brand":"Derrick Jensen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616692728063,"sku":"9781609804046","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e08425a4-234a-4f02-9820-a9d0bd74cdae.jpg?v=1703021764","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-derrick-jensen-reader-derrick-jensen-9781609804046","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
