Promising the Earth Book

The grassroots environmental movement is maturing as a a sustained and positive influence on the natural world, modern politics, industry, and on the everyday lives of ordinary people everywhere. Promising the Earth paints the inside story of pioneeering campaigns upon a broader social canvas. While no single organization's history or accomplishments can fairly represent the growth of environmental consciousness, this narrative bears intimate witness to a fascinating and rewarding story which is still unfolding. Enlivened by arresting illustrations and glimpses of colorful personalities brought to light through the ongoing environmental debate, Promising the Earth takes stock of changing realities in and attitudes to environmental care over the past twenty-five years. Author Roger Lamb uses this chronicle as a platform from which to survey the future which awaits our environment in the 21st century.Read More
