Overview

ENVIRONMENTALISM IS FALSE, IMPRACTICAL . . . AND IMMORAL. SO, WHY DOES IT APPEAL TO SO MANY PEOPLE? A REBEL IN EDEN presents a sweeping historical, practical, and moral critique of the environmentalist philosophy and movement. Bold and original, it challenges environmentalism's basic assumptions-while revealing the hidden psychological and mythological roots of its popular appeal. It also exposes how environmentalists cynically employ manipulative pseudo-science to ignite scare campaigns and inflame public panics. Written by Robert Bidinotto-an award-winning journalist, editor, and bestselling novelist-A REBEL IN EDEN draws from over three decades of his hard-hitting investigative journalism, essays, and lectures. The result: the most controversial and damning indictment of environmentalism in decades. ""A carefully researched and compelling challenge to environmentalism-from a fresh perspective that Bidinotto calls 'principled individualism.' His deep dive into the movement's mythological roots helps us understand its lasting appeal, and his dissection of its basic moral assumptions is compelling. And as a former journalist, Bidinotto provides devastating investigative case studies of the movement's cynically unscrupulous and scientifically bogus environmental scare campaigns."" -Howard Dickman, PhD, a former Wall St. Journal editor, and author, Industrial Democracy in America ""In A Rebel in Eden, Robert Bidinotto makes a devastating case against environmentalism. The first chapter alone is worth the price of the book. In it, Bidinotto traces the development of environmentalism's fundamental animating principles going back to the nineteenth century. In revealing the shocking anti-human prejudices of this influential movement, Bidinotto issues a clarion warning to all who care about human life and who seek to protect it against evil."" -Andrew Bernstein, PhD, philosopher and author, The Capitalist Manifesto: The Historic, Economic, and Philosophic Case for Laissez-Faire ""Journalist Robert Bidinotto has a knack for making complex subjects clear and fun to read about. If you've ever been curious about the origin and development of environmentalism, this book is the best place to start. I thought I was well-informed on these topics, but I learned something on every page.... This is for those who seek books that respect the readers' capacity to reason."" -Glenn Damato, bestselling author of The Far Shore and Sovereign Command
