The end of nature

Book • 1989

Bill McKibben's "The End of Nature" is a seminal work in environmental literature, published in 1989.

The book explores the profound impact of human activity on the Earth's climate and ecosystems.

McKibben argues that human-induced climate change has fundamentally altered the natural world, marking the end of an era where nature existed independently of human influence.

The book's impact lies in its powerful articulation of the urgency of the climate crisis and its call for collective action.

It remains a significant text in the environmental movement, influencing subsequent discussions and activism on climate change.
