American civilization as the twentieth century knew it has crumbled. In the great Southwest, a new breed of settler, whites and Indians together, is creating a new way of life in the wilderness--a pastoral economy--with skills and savvy resurrected from the pre-industrial past. Meanwhile, in a last surviving bastion of urban life, the remnants of the power elite are girding their armed forces to re-impose the old order. This is a land of horses and motorcycles, high-tech weaponry and primitive courage, and the struggle for the American future is mounting in intensity. No quarter is asked or given, and the outcome hangs in perilous balance against a background of magnificent nature and eternal human verities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With this boldly satirical imaginary world, Abbey asks us to look around and take stock of what we value--before it is too late.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdward Abbey\u003c\/b\u003e, a self-proclaimed \"agrarian anarchist,\" was hailed as the \"Thoreau of the American West.\" Known nationally as a champion of the individual and one of this country's foremost defenders of the natural environment, he was the author of twenty books, both fiction and nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eDesert Solitaire, The Monkey Wrench Gang, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Journey Home. \u003c\/i\u003eIn 1989, at the age of sixty-two, Edward Abbey died in Oracle, Arizona.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 7.99 x 5.33 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 30, 1991\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42694493077567,"sku":"9780452265653","price":26.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/50521d5d27e24bacc356c956c94d891e.webp?v=1765001521","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/good-news-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
