by Andrew Rowell

The tide is turning against environmentalism as the political right, industry and governments fight back.
Green Backlash is a controversial expose of the anti-environmental movement. Tracing the rise of the backlash from the Wise Use movement in the USA, the author reveals its rapid spread worldwide: the anti-roads movement in the UK, forestry debates in Canada and Australia, marine resource issues in Europe, South-East Asia, and controversies such as the Brent Spar.
The backlash is set to get worse as the resource wars intensify. This book offers a greater understanding of the challenges and threats facing global environmentalism, concluding that the environmental movement now has a chance to re-evaluate and change for the better to beat the backlash - a chance that must not be missed.

Stunning. Frightening, Very complete

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago

Apart from a slight blur in Rowells vision where Greenpeace is concerned and the fact that he consideres the world, global examples notwithstanding, still to be mostly America, a frightening, stunning and utterly mesmerising book. Halfway through the reader has to take all the implications into account and then apply them to similar cases in one's own surrounding. Very accurately, it illustrates that obviously old tactics of repression do not work anymore, having been recognised to often for what they are, so new strategies are called for to hold us down where the enviroment is concerned. This book is a must for anyone interested in enviromentalism. For me, environmental journalist in the Netherlands,a small, very regulated country with a sickening economic drive, an oasis of recognition. compliments.
