Anthology For The Earth
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Award-winning author Judy Allen has had a lifelong interest in the natural world. As a child, she compiled a notebook of writings on the subject that interested or moved her and it is these, along with more recent discoveries that form the basis of this anthology. Included are the wise thoughts of a Kayapo Indian Chief on saving the Amazonian Rainforest; an Australian Aboriginal woman bemoaning the destructive effects of mining; Rudyard Kipling's haunting seal anthem, Lukkanon; Gerald Durrell's affirmation of captive breeding; and an 11-year-old boy's reflections on watching a robin. There are the voices of poets, scientists, spiritual leaders and ordinary people. Some are celebratory, others angry, sad, contemplative, ironic, lyrical, instructive. What links these pieces is a passionate concern evident also in the deeply-felt images that accompany them - paintings, drawings and photographs.
