  • Commentary
  • "This Land is the book we’ve all been waiting for. It is simultaneously profound and incisive, breathtaking and heartbreaking, inspiring and sobering. Most of all it is imbued with a love of the land: the land we all love, the land we need, the land that needs us now more than ever. This book is desperately and wildly important." —Derrick Jensen, author of The Myth of Human Supremacy
