This new edition of "Killing the Natives," critically evaluates the original edition published in 2004, McPherson's book focused on cultural criticism. Nearly two decades of hindsight, along with the subsequent accumulation of evidence, allows for an important retrospective analysis. Earth is now experiencing a Mass Extinction Event, abrupt climate change, and the ongoing needs and desires of nearly eight billion people. Excerpt: "I think the original version of Chapter 1 has held up quite well since it was written. I was na???ve about several topics when I penned Chapter 1 some two decades ago, yet the basic ideas I was attempting to transmit are still important and timely.It has become increasingly clear that we have failed in our, "responsibility to use our wealth and power to preserve-rather than exploit-other cultures, languages, and species." The United States has not served as, "stewards of the world's capital of natural and cultural resources." Quite to the contrary, the United States has led the pursuit of life-destroying disaster capitalism.""Killing the Natives" connects the world of economics, the government, and social justice -- three enterprises that are inextricably linked despite the appearance given by laissez-faire economic policies. The intersection of environmental protection, social justice, and the human economy represents rich but essentially uncharted territory. About the Author: Guy R. McPherson is Professor Emeritus of conservation biology at the University of Arizona, where he taught and conducted research for twenty award-winning years. His scholarly work, which has for many years focused on the conservation of biological diversity, has produced more than a dozen books and hundreds of articles.
