The beauty of the natural world and the life that occupies our tiny blue dot are rare and wonderful things in our barren universe. With litter, pollution, climate change, poaching, and metropolitan growth threatening our wild lands like never before, it has become clear that meaningful institutional action is a near-impossibility. In a post-industrial economy controlled by a revolving door of corporate and government special interests, how can just one person make a difference? A Place Among the Stars is more than another dazzling array of nature's beauty. It's a call to action for every individual to make small, low-cost, low-impact changes in their daily life that will have a real impact on our global future.—Wilderness Media Co
