Book Synopsis The Rights of Nature by : Roderick Frazier Nash
Download or read book The Rights of Nature written by Roderick Frazier Nash and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1989-01-17 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charting the history of contemporary philosophical and religious beliefs regarding nature, Roderick Nash focuses primarily on changing attitudes toward nature in the United States. His work is the first comprehensive history of the concept that nature has rights and that American liberalism has, in effect, been extended to the nonhuman world. “A splendid book. Roderick Nash has written another classic. This exploration of a new dimension in environmental ethics is both illuminating and overdue.”—Stewart Udall “His account makes history ‘come alive.’”—Sierra “So smoothly written that one almost does not notice the breadth of scholarship that went into this original and important work of environmental history.”—Philip Shabecoff, New York Times Book Review “Clarifying and challenging, this is an essential text for deep ecologists and ecophilosophers.”—Stephanie Mills, Utne Reader
Book Synopsis Outrage! the Ordeal of Greenpeace III by : David Fraser McTaggart
Download or read book Outrage! the Ordeal of Greenpeace III written by David Fraser McTaggart and published by J.J. Douglas. This book was released on 1973 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From June 1972 through September 1973, the French government defied world sentiment to initiate a series of atmospheric nuclear explosions in the South Pacific. With complete indifference to law, over 100,000 square miles of open ocean were cordoned off, all travel into the area arbitrarily prohibited and large bombs exploded. Most of the world simply watched in anger. But one man, a Canadian, decided to provoke a confrontation and to test the law. David McTaggart twice sailed his thirty-eight foot boat, "Vega", over 3500 nautical miles to face the French. His intent was eloquent in its simplicity -- to sail into the waters over which France had no legal jurisdiction, compelling the French to postpone the tests or to remove him by force. From New Zealand to Mururoa Atoll he raced time and international lethargy and then dodged the French navy in two long sea chases within sight of the balloons bearing the test bombs. Yet each voyage ended in disaster. The first time, his boat was either blunderingly or willfully rammed by a French frigate; the second time it was boarded by the French and McTaggart and his crew were manhandled. But his point was made and the "Greenpeace III" (as "Vega" came to be known in the world press) became a symbol of daring protest against nuclear madness. This is David McTaggart's story. It is one of high adventure and brilliant seamanship; of international intrigue and political skulduggery; of intense drama and great suspense. Most of all, it is an account of a hair raising gamble that places McTaggart in the ranks of Slocum and Voss and Chichester."--Inside front cover.

Book Synopsis Make It a Green Peace! by : Frank Zelko
Download or read book Make It a Green Peace! written by Frank Zelko and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of Greenpeace in the late 1960s from a loose-knit group of anti-nuclear and anti-whaling activists fundamentally changed the nature of environmentalism—its purpose, philosophy, and tactics—around the world. And yet there has been no comprehensive objective history of Greenpeace's origins-until now. Make It a Green Peace! draws upon meeting minutes, internal correspondence, manifestos, philosophical writings, and interviews with former members to offer the first full account of the origins of what has become the most recognizable environmental non-governmental organization in the world. Situating Greenpeace within the peace movement and counterculture of the 1960s, Frank Zelko provides a much deeper treatment of the group's groundbreaking brand of radical, media-savvy, direct-action environmentalism than has been previously attempted. Zelko traces the complex intellectual and cultural roots of Greenpeace to the various protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s, highlighting the influence of Quakerism—with its practice of bearing witness—Native American spirituality, and the non-violent resistance of Gandhi. Unlike the more strait-laced, less confrontational Sierra Club and Audubon Society, early Greenpeacers smoked dope, dropped acid, wore their hair long, and put their bodies on the line—interposing themselves between the harpoons of whalers and the clubs of seal-hunters—to save the animals and achieve what they hoped would be a lasting transformation in the way humans regarded the natural world. And while it may not have achieved its most revolutionary goals, Greenpeace inarguably created a heightened awareness of environmental issues that endures to this day. Narrating the key campaigns and arguments among the group's early members, Make It a Green Peace! vividly captures all the drama, pathos, and occasional moments of absurd comic relief of Greenpeace's tumultuous first decade.
Book Synopsis Gold Dust on His Shirt by : Irene Howard
Download or read book Gold Dust on His Shirt written by Irene Howard and published by Between the Lines. This book was released on 2010-12-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold Dust on His Shirt is an evocative telling of the experience of a Scandinavian immigrant family of hard-rock miners at the turn of the century and up to World War II. Based on fascinating historical research, these are tales of arriving in "Amerika," blasting the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, work in the mines, and domestic life and labour struggles in company towns throughout British Columbia. Part family history, part economic and social history, Gold Dust on His Shirt is an intriguing look at life on the industrial frontier, the world of immigrant workers and the rise of unions such as the Wobblies. This remarkable and provocative tale of a family, region and era references a number of broader social and political issues.

Book Synopsis Hairy Hippies and Bloody Butchers by : Juliane Riese
Download or read book Hairy Hippies and Bloody Butchers written by Juliane Riese and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the popular imagination, no issue has been more closely linked with the environmental group Greenpeace than whaling. Opposition to commercial whaling has inspired many of the organization’s most dramatic and high-profile “direct actions”—as well as some of its most notable failures. This book provides an inside look at one such instance: Greenpeace’s decades-long campaign against the Norwegian whaling industry. Combining historical narrative with systems-theory analysis, author Juliane Riese shows how the organization’s self-presentation as a David pitted against whale-butchering Goliaths was turned on its head. She recounts how opponents successfully discredited the campaign while Greenpeace struggled with internal disagreements and other organizational challenges, providing valuable lessons for other protest movements.
