IDEAS TO POSTPONE THE END OF THE WORLD

With his commanding voice and calm demeanor, actor Lorne Cardinal adds gravity and urgency to this plea for global change. Cardinal is not a flashy narrator; he rarely modulates or changes tempo. But his resonant delivery and his Cree heritage enable him to convincingly convey the author's spirit of Indigenous activism. According to Krenek, our survival depends on whether we can maintain ties to the ancestral world, renounce our perceived superiority as a species, halt the death spiral of consumerism, give up on the myth of sustainability, and stop corporate deception. The audiobook is short and includes footnotes. (A bell dings, Cardinal reads the note, and then returns to the text.) A second narrator, Jenny Lee Craig, delivers the opening and ending credits.
