Biosphere and the Bioregion

As one of the originators of the concept of bioregionalism Peter Berg (1937-2011) is a founding figure of contemporary environmental thought. As arguably the nation's first post-environmentalist in the 1970s Berg perceived the negative direction the environmental movement was taking and began to articulate a more positive and pro-active alternative centered on the concept of bioregions. This book introduces readers to the biospheric vision and post-environmental genius of Berg with original tributes from twenty prominent writers and thinkers whose reflections illuminate facets of Berg's continuing importance and offer fresh angles on bioregionalism.<i> </i>
