| Summary |
"For over three decades, Jeff Angel has been on the frontline of Australia's most important environmental battles. From the green movements beginnings and major campaigns such as saving the Franklin and Snowy rivers, through to the scrutiny of the Green Olympics in Sydney and the issues facing us today, Jeff Angel chronicles the turbulent history of our growing environmental awareness. A passionate crusader for the protection of Australias wild places, Jeff has organised mass peaceful resistance efforts to save forests, and pioneered alliances between environmental groups and business. In 'Green is Good' he exposes the real face of environmental change: the twin pressures of politics and industry groups; the ongoing tensions between fundamentalism and pragmatism in the environment movement; and the ineffectiveness of environmental laws and government agencies. He takes us inside some of the most pivotal meetings in Australian political history, and predicts what will happen next in the fight to save the environment. Candid, fascinating and thought-provoking, 'Green is Good' should be read by anyone who cares about ensuring that Australia remains a green nation."--Provided by publisher |
