PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Rik Scarce is the author of three books: the first edition of Eco-Warriors: Understanding the Radical Environmental Movement (1990), Fishy Business: Salmon, Biology, and the Social Construction of Nature (2000), and Contempt of Court: A Scholar's Battle for Free Speech from Behind Bars (2005). He is a professor in the Department of Sociology at Skidmore College and previously taught at Michigan State University and Montana State University. He has also been a newspaper reporter, worked as an aide to two politicians, and has conducted research and writing for a consulting firm. In 1993, Scarce was jailed for five months for contempt of court for refusing to divulge sources to prosecutors about his research on the radical environmental movement.
'This book should come with a label: Warning! Potent Ideas at Work. Only the most depraved cynic could complete this reading and remain unaffected.' Bloomsbury Review 'Rik Scarce examines the controversial world of radical environmentalism, providing a sympathetic and fascinating look inside the hearts and minds of those who would meld Gandhi with King Ludd.' New York Times Book Review '[T]his is a valuable introduction to the radical environmentalists-those whose despair over the deterioration of the planet has moved them to take militant and sometimes violent action.' The Progressive 'It may be hard for many to understand those who are willing to risk their lives in defense of the planet, but this book is excellent in explaining who they are and what motivates them. Although the intensity and extremist tactics of the eco-warriors may be off-putting, Scarce suggests that in the end we may owe thanks for our very survival to these people.' Library Journal 'A good and honest book that tells about an important social movement.' San Francisco Chronicle 'Scarce breaks new ground in dealing with animal rights and animal liberation groups and provides more detailed discussion of disruptive eco-tactics.' Choice
