From the Inside Flap

“At a time when landmark legislation—such as the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Wilderness Act, and the Endangered Species Act—all seem threatened, those concerned with the future of environmentalism in the 21st century are looking for ways to engage a broader public. Doing so requires that a tradition usually perceived as the domain of a white, male elite recognizes the contributions of women and people of color to the national discourse on the meaning and value of nature in America. Such News of the Land offers an excellent place to begin the search for the next wave of environmentalism.”—from the Foreword by Vera Norwood --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
