520    "This is a book about ecology, environment, nature, and 
       the misleading information that plagues the discussions of
       these topics. It is easy-to-read, fun, and doesn't have to
       be read all at once; you can pick it up for five or ten 
       minutes, get one idea out of it, put it down, and come 
       back for other five or ten minutes some other time. It's 
       light reading about very difficult subjects, such as: is 
       trying to save every single species necessarily a good 
       thing? Is life really all that fragile? Is undisturbed 
       nature the normal state of things? and twenty-three more 
       insightful essays"--|cProvided by publisher
