Derrick Jensen
Derrick Jensen is an activist, author, small farmer, bee-keeper, teacher, and philosopher whose speaking engagements in recent years have packed university auditoriums, conferences and bookstores nationwide. His acclaimed book, A Language Older Than Words, has been said to accomplish the rare feat of both "breaking and mending the reader's heart," as well as energizing the mind. Jenson was one of two finalists for the 2003 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, which cited his book The Culture of Make Believe as "a passionate and provocative meditation on the nexus of racism, genocide, environmental destruction, and corporate malfeasance, where civilization meets its discontents." Jensen's latest books are Endgame Volume 1: The Problem of Civilization and Endgame Volume 2: Resistance.
