"No Compromise in Defense of Mother Earth!" - Earth First! Earth First! is a group of radical environmentalists that formed in the American Southwest in the spring of 1980, founded by Dave Foreman, Mike Roselle, Howie Wolke, Bart Koehler, and Ron Kezar, among others. Earth First! quickly came to national attention with their "cracking" of Glen Canyon Dam activist stunt, which was performed and filmed in the spring of 1981. Edward Abbey is considered to be the "literary father" of the group, and the monkey wrench is their ever-present emblem and tool. "Earth First! is the beginning of the new, bold environmental movement. And 'Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal' is its voice" (Dave Foreman, 1980s). The late-1980s and early-1990s were a tumultuous time for Earth First! Law enforcement cracked down on its members, and various internal issues and factions began to form within the group. Earth First! embraced non-hierarchical structures and organic methods of organization and growth, while continuing to focus on direct action in defense of wilderness as its primary focus. Through the 1990's, 2000's, and 2010's, the journal continued to be published in various forms under the direction of a diverse and rotating collective of voices from within the broad Earth First! movement. Regular print publication of the Earth First! Journal under this title seems to have ceased sometime in the early 2020s, though the movement still survives and maintains a presence online and on social media.

Roadshow" and corresponds with the feature article (on page 13) "Gearing Up for the EF! Roadshow."

Comb binding. Zustand: Fair. Presumed First Edition, First printing. [2], 29, [1] pages. Illustrations. Decorative front cover. Cover has some wear, minor damp staining/rippling and soiling. This is one of the Military Vehicle Workshop Series, ARTY-03. The author was identified through bibliographic research and his name does no…t appear in this booklet. The Military Vehicle Workshop Series sets out to provide the AFV modeler with illustrated studies of the military vehicles and artillery pieces used or in use by the United States, Great Britain and Canada. It draws upon the illustrations found in the various technical,drivers, operational and workshop manuals pertinent to a particular vehicle in order to provide the modeler with details that are not always evident from photos or are missing from museum exhibits and monument displaces. Each booklet provides the modeler with 50-60 illustrations of the exterior and/or interior of a specific piece of military equipment. This booklet provides exterior views for the modeler wishing to detail the Tamiya 25-Pounder MK II field gun on carriage Mk.II and trailer artillery No.27. The Ordnance QF 25-pounder, or more simply 25-pounder or 25-pdr, with a calibre of 3.45 inches (87.6 mm), was one of the most outstanding[editorializing] field artillery pieces used by British and Commonwealth forces in the Second World War, being durable, easy to operate and versatile.[according to whom?] It was the major British field gun and howitzer during the War. It was introduced into service just before the War started, and combined both high-angle and direct-fire abilities, a relatively high rate of fire, and a reasonably lethal shell, with a highly mobile piece. Initial production was slow but, by 1945, over 12,000 had been manufactured. It remained the British Army's primary artillery field piece well into the 1960s, with smaller numbers used in training units until the 1980s. Many Commonwealth countries used theirs in active or reserve service until about the 1970s. The Mark II, fitted to the Mark I carriage was the standard gun during the war. They were built in Australia and Canada but mostly in UK. Deliveries (from UK production) started at the beginning of 1940 and first entered service with a Canadian regiment stationed in UK during May 1940. No Ordnance 25-pr Mk 2 on Carriage 25-pr Mark 1 were lost in France. This gun fired all charges, 1 - 3 and Super. In 1942, a muzzle brake was fitted to the gun to eliminate the instability caused when firing the 20 lb. AP shell with Charge Super at direct fire low elevation angles. To preserve the gun's balance on the trunnions, a counterbalance weight was also fitted, just in front of the breech ring. The designation of the modified gun was not changed. Eventually, all guns serving in Europe were so converted. An important part of the gun was the ammunition trailer ("trailer, artillery, No 27"). The gun was hooked to it and the trailer hooked to the tractor for towing. The gun did not need a limber and could be hooked directly to a tractor. The trailer provided the brakes as only a hand-brake was fitted to the gun carriage. The trailer carried ammunition; thirty-two rounds in trays (two rounds per tray) in the trailer protected by two doors. Ammunition was also carried in the gun tractor with the detachment and various gun stores. Some stores, such as sights, were carried cased on the gun. Each section (two guns) had a third tractor that carried ammunition and towed two ammunition trailers. The gun detachment comprised the following: No 1 - detachment commander (a sergeant) No 2 - operated the breech and rammed the shell No 3 - layer No 4 - loader No 5 - ammunition No 6 - ammunition, normally the "coverer" - second in command and responsible for ammunition preparation and operating the fuze indicator.
