A reissue of David Suzuki and Peter Knudtson's volume exploring the relationships between humans, nature and the environment from the perspectives of both Western science and the age-old wisdom of indigenous peoples around the world.

Arguing that we are living at a turning point in human history, the author talks about how we are travelling at breakneck speed into an era of extremes - of wealth, poverty, technology, and globalization. Stating that we must learn how to manage them all, he addresses key questions of our age and proposes an interconnected set of solutions.
