The rediscovery of North America

Book • 1990
In 'The Rediscovery of North America', Barry Lopez critiques the legacy of Christopher Columbus and the European settlement of North America, highlighting the destructive impact on the environment.

He challenges readers to adopt a new ethic that prioritizes making the continent a true home, rather than continuing its exploitation.

The book is a powerful reflection on the need for a deeper connection with the natural world.
