Green in black and white times

Texte du rabat

In conversations - serious, humorous, ironic, ribald - internationally acclaimed poet-scientist Douglas Livingstone and leading literary critic Michael Chapman struck up a warm, at times iconoclastic friendship. Their conversations - recollected in this book - take readers through the times of political turbulence in South Africa to a climate more attuned to Livingstone's abiding concern: how, as both scientist and poet, to heal the Earth, our only home.
