The Forest Wars

The Forest Wars

By Judith Ajani

buy_from_fishpondAustralia's long-unresolved forest conflict has been the make-or-break factor in federal elections for the last few decades, with both parties often arguing that the four-decade-old forest conflict has no practical solution. They are wrong. Australia's existing plantations can meet virtually all the nation's wood needs and replace all native forest woodchipping. Australia can have a large, highly competitive and prosperous forest industry without logging native forests. Since irreconciliable development versus environment interests cannot explain Australia's ongoing forest conflict, what does? Australia's forest conflict persists only because government has not let new, economically superior products displace environmentally inferior products in the market. Behind this failure lies silenced plantation processors, failing bureaucracies, government-created extraordinary native-forest-woodchipping profits and destructive union behaviour. More

Scorcher: The Dirty Politics of Climate Change

Scorcher: The Dirty Politics of Climate Change

By Clive Hamiltonbuy_from_fishpond

This is the book that blows the whistle on the politics of global warming in Australia. Why have our political leaders been so slow to act? Which are the fossil-fuel lobby groups that still set the policy agenda? How many different ways can one spin, deceive, lie and obfuscate instead of facing facts and looking for the solutions that are desperately needed? Written with humour, urgency and great authority, this is the definitive account of the politics of climate change in Australia. More

Social Ecology and Communalism

Social Ecology and Communalismbuy_from_fishpond

By Murray Bookchin

An astute observer of the theoretical and practical limitations of the traditional left, Murray Bookchin sought to develop a refreshingly new political framework. Developing from his earlier works on social ecology-which combined ecological principles with the abolition of social hierarchy and economic inequality- Communalism is a fascinating blend of libertarian municipalism with the best of the anarchist and Marxist traditions.

These essays, collected for the first time, represent the final works of Murray Bookchin, co-founder of the Institute for Social Ecology and the author of dozens of articles and books.

Ecology

By Carolyn Merchant (Edited by)

Ecology

buy_from_fishpondAs we survey the negative effects of modernism - environmental destruction, the net consumption of irreplaceable natural resources, the ever-widening gulf between first and third worlds - we are forced to grapple with the consequences of the domination of nature by human beings. Clearly, for the earth and its peoples to survive, new ways of thinking about the human relationship to nature are needed. The readings gathered in this popular reader join these issues with critical theory to examine the ongoing struggle to rediscover the nature within human beings and to reconnect it with external nature.A critical theory of the environment offers both an analysis of current problems of the domination of people and nature and ways of attaining sustainability in the future. Distinguished environmental scholar Carolyn Merchant has brought together some of the foremost environmental thinkers of the twenty-first century. More

Back to Earth: Tomorrow's Environmentalism

Back to Earth: Tomorrow's Environmentalism

By Anthony Weston

buy_from_fishpondIn the face of our receding connection to nature and the loss of our direct experience of the world, Anthony Weston proposes a different kind of environmentalism in "Back to Earth". Weston argues that we must restore our link with the 'more-than-human' world, bringing wilderness, animals, and the Earth closer to individuals and into daily life. Weston explores a multitude of practices that can bring humans back in touch with the 'more-than-human' world. Using specific, sometimes deeply unsettling, accounts of the state of animals and the land, Weston makes clear that as humans we must put aside our presuppositions about our own centrality and superiority. Instead, for example, we would do well to consider the means by which animals communicate and understand boundaries, thereby establishing what Weston terms 'transhuman etiquettes'. More

By Bill McKibben

The End of Naturebuy_from_fishpond
