About this book

In what may be one of Paul Shepard's boldest books, he gives an account of human behaviour and ecology in the light of our past. The book is a challenge to the way many people think about the history of their relationship with the land.

In Shepard's view, farming is the root of our ecological decline. In its place he points to the hunting and gathering way of life as a model more in tune with our essential nature. The catalogue description adds that he seeks to affirm the profound and beautiful nature of the hunter and gatherer.

The book suits readers interested in environmental thought and in the relationship between people and the ecosystems they depend on.
