The hosts of the nationally syndicated radio program “Earth Watch” have devised an invaluable tool for environmental self-education — one that explains the root causes of the earth's problems at the same time that it illuminates the path toward solving them. Essays based on interviews with sixteen honored activists — among them Little Crow, Carl Sagan, Gary Nabhan, Shridath Ramphal, and Diane Ackerman — present their collective wisdom in their own words. Six sections — Indigenous Views, Land and Spirit; New Vision Business; The Right to Exist; The Politics of Environmentalism; The Making of Earth Keepers; and Future Quest — identify themes that underlie the environmental movement.
