Praise for The End of Ice: Included in Smithsonian magazine's "Ten
Best Science Books of 2019" A Publishers Weekly "Top 10 Science
Picks" for Fall 2018
"[Jamail] suggests that we must sit with our grief for the
ever-diminishing planet; to understand how to proceed, we must
acknowledge what we have lost and what we will continue to
lose."
—New York Times Book Review "The End of Ice is about developing a
stronger connection to nature, which Jamail says many people living
in urban areas have lost or left behind."
—Smithsonian.com
"Jamail commits to educating others on the plight of the planet, in
hopes a younger generation can delay the inevitable."
—Men's Journal "A reader seeking a single book about the current
state of our warming world should find THE END OF ICE an ideal
summary."
—Anchorage Daily News
"Enlightening, heartbreaking, and necessary."
—Booklist
"This book will help readers understand how ecosystems have been
affected by climate change and how inaction has potentially doomed
further generations."
—Library Journal
"Assiduously researched, profoundly affecting, and filled with
vivid evocations of the natural world. Jamail's deep love of nature
blazes through his crisp, elegant prose, and he ably illuminates
less-discussed aspects of climate disruption. . . . A passionate,
emotional ode to the wonders of our dying planet and to those who,
hopelessly or not, dedicate their lives to trying to save it."
—Kirkus Reviews
"In a sane world The End of Ice would be the end of lame excuses
that climate change is too abstract to get worked up about. From
the Arctic to the Amazon, from doomed Miami to the Great Barrier
Reef, Dahr Jamail brings every frontier in our ongoing calamity
into close focus. The losses are tangible. And so is the grief.
This is more than a good book. It is a wise one."
—William deBuys, author of A Great Aridness: Climate Change and the
Future of the American Southwest and The Last Unicorn: A Search for
One of Earth's Rarest Creatures
"What a strange and compelling paradox this book offers: to fall in
love with the Earth and all that we are losing, to let our hearts
open to the deepest grief, and then trust that our grieving opens
us to profound love. When what we love is lost, our grief honors
the loss and cracks open our hearts to live fully in the present
moment, which is joyous. Thank you, Dahr Jamail, for this
gift."
—Margaret Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science and
Who Do We Choose to Be?
Praise for Dahr Jamail:
"A superb journalist, in the most honorable tradition of that
craft."
—Howard Zinn
