Extreme Times: Diary of an Eco-Buddhist

"Extreme Times" chronicles day-by-day events over nearly nine months in the life of a climate news addict & longtime student of Tibetan Buddhism. With Whitmanesque "original energy," humor & insight, it illuminates interconnections between the Buddhist teaching that all is impermanent & the science of climate change. Readers looking through such a lens can see how intricately interwoven personal & collective outcomes really are. In offering this timely perspective, author Bird Thompson guides us toward realizing the value of compassion for all beings.
