Review # 1 was written on 2010-12-20 00:00:00 Aaron Furman This has been gathering dust on my shelf, and someone finally recalled it from me through the library, so all I read was the editor's introductory and concluding contributions, which I found helpful. I may return to it at some point. Good excerpts that break down the central three relevant issues: "(A)ctivists of the Earth First! movement have advanced moral, ecological, and political claims which constitute the three essential pillars of Earth First!'s ethics. Their moral claim is that nonhuman life is valuable, even apart from its usefulness to human beings.... ("Nonetheless, threats to human livelihood and health provide the most important reasons for the global emergence and proliferation of popular ecological resistance... Obviously such motives are far from misanthropic." p.335) "(They) add the ecological claim that we are in the midst of an unprecedented, anthropogenic extinction crisis, and consequently, many ecosystems are presently collapsing.... "The heart of (their) political claim is either that democracy in the United States is a sham, thoroughly thwarted by corporate economic power, or, even if not a sham, the democratic political system is so distorted by corporate power and regressive human attitudes that it cannot respond quickly enough to avert the escalating extinction catastrophe.... "These three claims lead to the assertion that the current situation--morally, ecologically, and politically--is so grave that tactics considered objectionable by most are instead necessary and even obligatory." pp.15-17
