Breakpoint: Reckoning with America's Environmental Crisis

By ecologist Jeremy B. C. Jackson and journalist Steve Chapple

“Thought-provoking, informative, and, ultimately, hopeful.” — Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History

“Moving, poignant, and timely, Breakpoint is both a stark reminder of the urgent environmental challenges facing the planet and a hopeful call to action to those in power. This is boots-on-the-ground science at its finest." — Leonardo DiCaprio

“Breakpoint is a stunning book of ecological anthropology from consummate storytellers. The human narratives they bring to light allow us to understand and appreciate how America farmed, drilled, degraded, and overheated the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is fair, compelling, and heartbreaking, as good as anything written by Margaret Mead or Claude Levi Strauss." — Paul Hawken, author of Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming
