Paul is flawless in his execution of the thought-provoking life of Concrete. He weaves his tale and makes you always think about the life you lead. The best stories are the ones that stay with you and cause you to think time and again.

This is no exception.

This is the most well regarded (and well known) of the Concrete stories, even by Chadwick himself.

Think Like a Mountain has Concrete fall in with a group of Earth First! enviromental activists in their attempt to save an old growth forest from logging. One of the strengths of this book is that Chadwick doesn't try to sway our opinions with common narrative tricks: the loggers aren't evil and the enviromentalists aren't saints in the least. Chadwick wants to win us over with facts and facts alone. As always Concrete, the thinking man's superhero, approaches the problem with, well, lots of thought; specifically on whether we should leave things to the slow route of diplomacy or we should take matters into our own hands for something we think is right - even if it means breaking some laws.
