<p>Hailed as the philosopher poet of the ecological movement,
best-selling author Derrick Jensen returns with a passionate
forecast of how industrial civilization, and the persistent and
widespread violence it requires, is unsustainable. Jensen’s
intricate weaving together of history, philosophy,
environmentalism, economics, literature and psychology has
produced a powerful argument that demands attention in the
tradition of such important books as Herbert Marcuse’s Eros and
Civilization and Brigid Brophy’s Black Ship to Hell.</p>
<p>In Volume I: The Problem of Civilization, Jensen lays out a
series of provocative premises, including “Civilization is not and
can never be sustainable” and “Love does not imply pacifism.” He
vividly imagines an end to technologized, industrialized
civilization and a return to agragrian communal life.</p>
<p>If Volume I lays an insightful framework for envisioning a
sustainable way of life, Volume II: Resistance catapults this
discussion into a passionate call for action. Using his premises
as guidelines for exploring real-world problems, Jensen guides us
toward concrete solutions by focusing on our most primal human
desire: to live on a healthy earth overflowing with uncut forests,
clean rivers, and thriving oceans that are not under the constant
threat of being destroyed.</p>

<p>“‘At the risk of sounding ridiculous,’ Che Guevarra once and
rather famously declaimed, ‘let me say that the true revolutionary
is guided by feelings of great love.’ To my mind, he might well
have been describing Derrick Jensen. No other writer has so
clearly and consistently captured the essense of Guevarra’s
intent, illuminating it in ways of which Che himself never
dreamed. That <em>Endgame</em> embodies Jensen’s finest work to
date says all that needs saying about why it simply MUST be read.”<br>
—<strong>Ward Churchill</strong>, author of <em>Since Predator
Came</em> and <em>Struggle for the Land</em></p>
<p>“Derrick Jensen is a rare and original voice of sanity in a
chaotic world. He has wisdom and wit, grace and style, and is a
wonderful guide to a good life beautifully lived.”<br>
—<strong>Howard Zinn</strong></p>
<p>“Derrick Jensen is a force for the common good. His books are
mandatory reading in the study of culture and social change.
Derrick Jensen is a contemporary philosopher with his feet firmly
on the ground.”<br>
—<strong>Terry Tempest Williams</strong>, author of <em>The Open
Space of Democracy</em></p>
