Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Whether you are an ecologist, an environmentalist or an economist, a philosopher or a political scientist...this book will make you think differently about your chosen field. And, Ken's marvelous style makes thinking a pleasure rather than a chore. Although I savored each page, I was eager to get to the next one to see what new insight Ken would offer. The book was brilliantly researched and reflects a lifetime of productive thought. I learned more about the ecological ethos in two or three hours than I had learned in a lifetime. Just as important, I learned about the world around me. -- John O. Whitney, Professor Emeritus, Columbia School of Business and author of Economics of Trust Ken Greenwood's interesting, systematic view of the variety of 'camps' through which humans view the earth from an environmental perspective, provides an interesting, intellectual platform for why and how our natural heritage has been and continues to be slowly destroyed as a result of being tugged in many disorganized directions. He completes his environmental journey by offering solutions to how humans can proceed toward an altered but significantly more positive, environmental direction. -- Steve K. Sherrod, Ph.D., Executive Director, George Miksch Sutton Avian Research Center, Oklahoma Biological Survey, University of Oklahoma Greenwood explores the essence of the conservation movement in America, its roots and the movement's successes and failures. This is a valuable resource for those searching for the historical context of the conservation movement and who seek to ensure many more conservation success stories for the future. -- John L. Devney, Senior Vice President, Delta Waterfowl Foundation Ken Greenwood's grassroots go deep. He has long been an active exponent of good stewardship of land and wildlife. There are clear models and examples in Grassroots Ecology that demonstrate how Americans have regarded their responsibility to nature with divergent ethical points of view. A thoughtful but active pace encourages you to move gently over the North American earth. -- Alice Lindsay Price, author of Swans of the World and Cranes, the Noblest Flyers
