Book excerpt: "Earth First! was known throughout the country as the ultra-radical wing of the environment movement. Their tactics were confrontational, sometimes illegal, and always controversial. Consequently, Earth First! received a lot of press over the years, especially surrounding the arrest and impending trial of co-founder Dave Foreman. This book preserves the original Earth First! philosophies and leaves a legacy for future generations of conservationists. Here collected are ten years of hard-hitting words by more than 40 of the best environmental writers of the decade. Dave Foreman, now executive editor of 'Wild Earth', contributed the foreword. John Davis, former editor of the 'Earth First! journal' and now editor of 'Wild Earth', edited this collection." -- book cover.
