Interesting and though-provoking. Interesting look at different movements in ecology and their supporters and detractors. Provided another perspective that made me think critically about groups/organizations I thought I knew about already.

A good overview of different schools of thought in ecology and environmental activism. I appreciated the author's willingness to remain fairly neutral throughout the book, giving both the positives and negatives of each worldview, while still ultimately pushing for an ethic that values humans and nonhuman nature. The language was engaging and not overly academic or dry, so it's a good choice for those who are relatively unfamiliar with this topic.

A great introduction on the many varied branches of the radical ecology and environmental/green movements. A survey of different movements and paths of thought. Definitely recommend for anyone who is interested in reading more ecological theory but doesn't know which thinkers/movements to focus on. A little outdated, would love to see an updated version with some of the events, organizations, and figures of the 21st century but nevertheless is still very relevant to readers today!
