Earth Apology

"Hassan Rasheed's Apology is an entirely unique work. At once an anthropology of the human race and its relationship with the world, it is also a philosophical treatise touching on the ethics of civilization, demonstrating an astonishing shift in pace as it builds towards a call to radically rethink the basic premise of our attitude toward nature. With its exquisite lyrical style, addressed not to the reader, but to the Earth itself, Rasheed achieves something exceedingly rare in this work: Apology somehow transcends the bounds of nationhood, politics, and religious frameworks to express a heartfelt human ecology capable of touching even the most hardened ideologue. A masterpiece." Alex Spring, Editor
