The Dragonfly Will Be the Messiah

Masanobu Fukuoka

£7.99

Summary

In twenty short books, Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement.

In The Dragonfly Will Be the Messiah, the celebrated pioneer of the 'do-nothing' farming method reflects on global ecological trauma and argues that we must radically transform our understanding of both nature and ourselves in order to have any chance of healing.

Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration.

Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.

This appears to be a description of an environmental book series from Penguin, specifically highlighting "The Dragonfly Will Be the Messiah." The book explores ecological philosophy through the lens of sustainable farming practices, examining how humanity might need to fundamentally shift its relationship with nature to address environmental crises. It's positioned as part of a broader collection that traces the development of environmental thinking over the past three-quarters of a century, suggesting it would appeal to readers interested in ecological philosophy, sustainable agriculture, and environmental activism.
