Barry Lopez continues in Resistance the legacy he established in Of Wolves and Men: an intelligent, balanced estimation of the conditions that underlie our human experiences in the late twentieth/early twenty-first century, the psychological conditions that motivate us to try to do something other than follow the trajectories of agribusiness, mass media, our beloved iPhones . . . .local and human-scaled economies seem to be the only possibility left in the collapse of globalization, which is currently manifesting itself in multiple ways, underwritten by the twinned realities of climate change and peak oil . . . Lopez anticipates these conditions, and imagines how we might live otherwise, committed to alternative values . . .because this was written in 2005, it was hard to imagine what might happen "what if" there were something like grid crash, which becomes an omnipresent reality in 2010 . ..Get more detail about Resistance.
