Environmentalist Bill McKibben is a scholar in environmental studies at Middlebury College.
He is the author of "The End of Nature" (1989), the first book for a general audience about global warming. Recent books include "Enough" (2004), which critiques human genetic engineering and other rapidly advancing technologies; "Wandering Home" (2005), which catalogs his foot-travels across the Vermont landscape; and "Age of Missing Information" (2006), in which he compares his experience watching 1700 hours of videotaped TV to that of contemplating nature in the Adirondacks.
