Pages : 518
Book Description
The long-awaited companion piece to Derrick Jensen's immensely popular and highly acclaimed works A Language Older Than Words and The Culture of Make Believe. Accepting the increasingly widespread belief that industrialized culture inevitably erodes the natural world, Endgame sets out to explore how this relationship impels us towards a revolutionary and as-yet undiscovered shift in strategy. Building on a series of simple but increasingly provocative premises, Jensen leaves us hoping for what may be inevitable: a return to agrarian communal life via the disintegration of civilization itself.

Volume 2: From the Closed Games covers the plans and playing methods in endings arising from the Queen's Gambit, Indian Defenses, English Opening, and other Closed Games. The material is arranged not by a formal opening classification, but mainly according to the type of pawn formation and the central strategy adopted by Black.
