Reviews

Overall, Green Backlash is a highly readable, disturbing account of the growing anti-environmental (ist) movement. The book reveals the harsher realities of environmental life at the tail end of the 20th century. <br>- CNS, March, 1997 <br>... it is well-written, draws upon varied facets of the world environmental opposition, and provides a wake-up-call for those who are not well aware of global environmental affairs. <br>- Environmental History <br>... [the] environmental agenda is clear throughout. <br>- Skeptic <br>... disturbing ... In Green Backlash--which I heartily recommend to anyone concerned about the environment--Rowell concludes that the environmental movement must start to put forward positive solutions, not just call attention to problems. <br>-Alain Dessaint, Healthy and Natural Journal <br>
