Yes | No“Derrick Jensen can be a bit wordy, but his heart is in the right place and his thought process is in the right direction. While I don't agree with the direction we should be taking, we stand solidly on the side of the damage caused by the way we do things now. Informative about certain ecological tragedies, Jensen is one of the few who is stepping up for nature, in a time when man has never desired so badly to tear it down.”

“If you only read one book a year, this should be it. Rips the veil off of society and really looks in.”

Over the years, we have institutionalized this violence as "patriotism" or "economic growth." Only gradually, via "revisionist history" are we recognizing the truth about our oppressive culture.”

“I'm not sure really what to say about this book, other than I couldn't stop reading it, especially after about two hundred pages or so. I already knew civilization was/is destroying everything in it's path before reading this book. Now I am better informed.”
