Some of those would come at the local level, where McKibben joins forces with a Vermont beekeeper raising his hives as part of the growing trend toward local food. Other solutions would come from a much larger fight against the fossil-fuel industry as a whole. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOil and Honey\u003c\/i\u003e is McKibben's account of these two necessary and mutually reinforcing sides of the global climate fight--from the center of the maelstrom and from the growing hive of small-scale local answers to climate change. With empathy and passion he makes the case for a renewed commitment on both levels of the fight to stop global warming, telling the story of raising one year's honey crop and building a social movement that's still cresting.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBill McKibben\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than a dozen books, including \u003ci\u003eThe End of Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEaarth\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDeep Economy\u003c\/i\u003e.
