1.0 out of 5 stars Same old tired right-wing "wise use" rhetoric, March 18, 2006

By	Dragynbane (Middle Earth) - See all my reviews

I read this book and found it to be a completely enjoyable COMEDY. It is hilarious. This is the unbelievably unreasonable anti-earth, anti-nature point of view of the logging, mining, fishing, land development and other destructive "resource" industries. It is written by a staunch Christian zealot. Just check out his website. Ron Arnold does not hide the fact he believes humans have every right to "extract" the heck out of the planet because it is "our god-given right" according to Genesis. Read and weep, gentle earth treaders, but you get to know the mindset of the other side pretty well.
Please note: a laudatory review here is by Eureka, CA resource industry lawyer Andy Stunich. For the record, and you can easily Google this or check out the archives of the local newspapers (Times-Standard, the right-wing Eureka Reporter, also the lefty North Coast Journal), Mr. Stunich represents tree climber Eric Schatz who is hired by logging companies to "extract" earth defenders from ancient growth redwoods. Need I say more?
Birds of a feather ....

2.0 out of 5 stars Fabricates facts to make his case., August 21, 1998

By A Customer

Ron Arnold's agenda is clear to any reader, even if his motives are not. He wants to discredit and undermine the movement to conserve nature. In the course of pursuing this agenda he makes leaps of record and logic that, when detected, leave him and his book flailing at air. I'm happy to give credit for some new and exhaustive research included in Ecoterror, including interesting history about forerunners to Earth First! and other environmental groups. But Arnold conspicuously overreaches in trying to link mainstream conservationists to a violent agenda and to the Unabomber. Perhaps this is what one would expect from a book of this sort, but Arnold goes overboard. For instance, in trying to link me (your reviewer) and my respected organization to a dark undercurrent of thought and action, he resorted to false and libelous statements which he has since been forced to withdraw in an errata sheet which can be found on his web site. If you read Ecoterror, do so with healthy skepticism.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pitiful, May 18, 2000

By A Customer

The book is a litany of jaded corporate arguments for the continued destruction of nature so that a few people can get richer. To be read only in the same way you watch a bad B-movie -- for the unintentional laughs. The book's inability to understand social activism (not to mention concepts like justice) would have made it a best-seller in Czarist Russia.
