"As disaster tales go, this is a sly, hip one...Boyle has always liked to play circus barker for life's extremes and what better freak show than the environmental apocalypse itself?" --The Washington Post
"Both entertaining and informative...hits like a warning shot from twenty-five years into the future." --Chicago Tribune
"A Friend of the Earth is about people and nature coming to terms with each other. In many ways it is a far more convincing argument for sustainable living in nature than any nonfiction environmental tract." --San Francisco Chronicle"Sobre este título" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.

Now, just when he's trying to survive in a world torn by obdurate storms and winnowing drought, Andrea comes back into his life. T. C.
