2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

In twenty short books, Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement. With honesty, passion and heart, Terry Tempest Williams's essays explore the impact of nuclear testing, the vital importance of environmental legislation, and the guiding spirit of conservation. Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.

The Clan of One-Breasted Women | Terry Tempest Williams

"On this night, I met the Arctic Angel and vowed the 22,000 miles of her migratory path between the Arctic and Antarctica would not be in vain. I will remember her. No creature on Earth has spent more time in daylight than this species. No creature on Earth has shunned darkness in the same way as the Arctic tern. No creature carries the strength and delicacy of determination on its back like this slight bird. ⬇️

Bookwomble ... If air is the medium of Spirit, then the Arctic tern is its messenger." 2w

Bookwomble @BookmarkTavern This is the first thing I've read by her. It was good 😊 2w

Suet624 Well, jeepers, I think I need to find this. Gorgeous. 2w

Bookwomble @Suet624 This book is a short (90 pages) collection of articles and extracts from her books, so something of an introduction, but certainly very interesting. 2w

The Clan of One-Breasted Women | Terry Tempest Williams

"I belong to a Clan of One-Breasted Women."

Williams's title essay is about the carcinogenic legacy of 1950s atomic bomb testing in Utah, which the government knew was a threat to the health of its citizens, but went ahead and then covered it up.

The other essays deal with the environment, ecology and conservation, and the book is part of the Penguin Green Ideas series ???
