How can you use “mckibben” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The writer Bill McKibben begins his meditation on television and nature, The Age of Missing Information , by describing a duck gliding around a pond, contrasting a morning spent watching its languorous motion with the rat-tat-tat of images and data on more than 100 cable TV channels--images that, he argues, carry far less information about the way the world works than the back-and-forth of that lone quacker.
Although McKibben's earlier books (mostly on the ways he has reduced his environmental impact on the earth) were slammed as having "the homiletic tone of a Sunday school sermon" ( New York Times man Richard Bernstein on Hope, Human and Wild ), this one strikes a positive chord with most reviewers.
This isn't censorship, it's editing, McKibben writes.
My old friend McKibben's aesthetic is not the same as mine (his favorite movie is Gandhi ), but since reading his book I pay closer attention to the temporal aspects of film, convinced that even, say, a successful formula thriller like Breakdown derives much of its power from its simulation of real time.
From: Bill McKibben
