Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit by Daniel Quinn
First to recommend
Description
Have you ever thought about how we are killing the world? Ever wondered when we started depleting our resources? What makes humans harmful to the world? Are you at all concerned?
This novel gives a gripping tale of a student and teacher who explore these themes. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about changing the world - anyone who wants us as a human race to stick around for a few more thousand years.... - not to get too heavy - but read this it's awesome!
