Seven months later Tony Merten, who made his New Mexico ranch a habitat for wildlife, shot himself to death while under suspicion in the criminal investigation of the wanton shooting of thirty-four cows and calves. The tale of Tony and the cows leads us�inevitably, in Baker�s account�to a reassessment of the roots of contemporary eco-philosophy in all its manifestations: the Animal Rights movement, Deep Ecology, technophobia, and the fashionable tributaries of Native American and Eastern thought. Baker�s implication is obvious and urgent: we cannot preserve �Nature� until we understand, accept, and deal with human nature.
This book delivers a jolt of that truth, and it invites readers to begin a tough reassessment of our environmental crisis.
