  • 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.
