In this seminal book, "Some of the Dead Are Still Breathing" Bowden continues the mission of this "accidental trilogy," trawling south of the border--a country Bowden's journalism has stamped as his own--and far afield, to post-terrorism Bali and back again to the deserts of the Southwest. Turning his fearless gaze toward the future--the future we can feel hurtling toward us, as fuel reserves dwindle, species die out, terrorism flourishes, the earth warms, and our ability to be fully awake--alert and impassioned in our lives-wanes. Weaving together natural history, memoir, reportage, and sheer virtuosic writing, he takes us on a furious tour of our emerging reality, his observations from the borderlands-of nations, laws, species, and desire--all the more searing for his refusal to be our scourge. Bowden has always had the gift of prophecy, but "Some of the Dead Are Still Breathing" is proof that the times have caught up with his vision, and need it now more than ever.
