Beside Still Waters 1998, William Morrow Can a modern rationalist be fully aware of the faults of faith, and yet still believe? What parts of scripture are the hardest to get your head around?

These and other questions of theology and belief are addressed in a book subtitled "searching for meaning in an age of doubt."

A Moment on the Earth 1995, Viking Subtitled “the coming age of environmental optimism,” this book anticipated by nearly a decade the current evidence that in the Western nations, all forms of pollution except greenhouse gases are declining. Hugely controversial when first published, “A Moment on the Earth” has stood the test of time in 750 pages of detail – and books that are denounced when published, then widely respected a decade later, often have most long-term influence. A New York Times and American Library Association Notable Book.
"Deserves to be read, investigated, argued about and honored. Easterbrook has taken one of the most complex modern subjects and made it pleasurable reading. His essays are written with great vigor and plenty of heart." -- New York Times Book Review, cover review. Buy it here from Amazon, Powells, or Barnes & Noble. |

So if you’re a publisher or filmmaker, why not do yourself a favor and contact my agent? Here are some of the raves:
"This Magic Moment is funny, appealing, original, handsome, smart, beautiful. It dazzles. If this book were a man or woman, you’d want to go out with it. You’d fall in love with it." -- Los Angeles Times Buy it here from Amazon, Powells, or Barnes & Noble. |
