Where you'd want to come from, poems for our planet -- The gentle light that vanishes, our endangered world -- As if they'd never been, poems for the animals -- The ocean within them, voices of young people -- Like you are new to the world, from inspiration to action -- A guide to activism by the union of concerned scientists.

Here looks at the world with a renewed sense of courage, fighting fear that so often leads to indifference and cynicism. The anthology also includes an activist guide, created in tandem with the Union of Concerned Scientists, and an introduction by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama.
