| Summary |
"Philip Shabecoff, environmental journalist, has spent more than two decades thinking and writing about the environment and related subjects. In Earth Rising, he draws on that experience, as well as extensive interviews with a wide range of people, to offer a pointed and thought-provoking critique of the current state and future prospects of the American environmental movement." "He makes a compelling case that another wave of environmentalism is needed - more powerful, diverse and sophisticated, visionary and flexible. Earth Rising offers a detailed road map that can guide environmentalists toward that new and reenergized place in society."--Jacket. |
