Abstract
Homero Aridjis's Newsof the Earth is the translated and updated version of his 2012 collection of essays Noticias de la Tierra. In this anthology, the internationally acclaimed Mexican author and environmental activist offers an extensive selection of writings that chronicle his advocacy for the protection of the environment since his founding of the Group of 100 in 1985. The volume consists of 121 articles published primarily in Mexican and United States newspapers over the course of the last thirty-three years with a focus on the Group of 100's "most important battles and victories." It is divided into eleven chapters: Mexico City and the Group of 100, Grandeur and Misery of the Monarch Butterfly, Sea Turtles, A Torturous Road to Extinction, And God Created the Great Whales, Our America, Our Mexico, The Indigenous Labyrinth, Mexico in Flames, Endangered Mexico, The Global War on Animals, and The Earth Belongs to Everyone.
