Endgame Volume 2 Resistance

by Derrick Jensen

Endgame Volume 2 Resistance Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Whereas Volume 1 of Endgame presents the problem of civilization, Volume 2 of this pivotal work illustrates our means of resistance. Incensed and hopeful, impassioned and lucid, Endgame leap-frogs the environmental movement's deadlock over our willingness to change our conduct, focusing instead on our ability to adapt to the impending ecological revolution.

Book News Annotation:

Having set out the problem of civilization in the first volume, environmentalist Jensen here suggests what to do about it. Among his perspectives are identification, dams, psychopathology, fewer than Jesus had apostles, breaking down civilization, the crash, and the return of the salmon. He does not provide an index.

Review:

"Written with passion, anger, frustration, hope, and even humor, this massive work is highly recommended." Library Journal

Review:

"Clearly he is passionate, but apparently the success of his earlier books has led to his writing only for those who already agree with him, rather than crafting a balanced discussion that allows readers to come to their own conclusions." Booklist
