Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Written by a member of Earth First!, this spirited defense of radical environmentalism looks at the Green movement in Europe; discusses "ecotage," the practice of damaging industrial equipment; and argues for biocentrism rather than anthropocentrism. "Readers interested in preserving our environment will find the book very much worth their time," said PW .

From Library Journal
The end is at hand, declares Manes, and radical measures are needed to avoid an ecological disaster. He decries industrial society's assault on the natural world and lionizes those, such as the group Earth First! (of which Manes is a member), who are taking direct action to halt these incursions. The acts Manes admiringly recounts include scuttling whaling vessels, destroying bulldozers, and driving spikes into trees slated to be cut. Even mainstream environmental groups, such as the Sierra Club and the Wilderness Society, are objects of his scorn, because of the timidity of their positions and recommendations. This is well-written, riveting, angry work. You do not need to agree with all of Manes's assertions to find his book provocative and challenging. Recommended for most collections.
