Igniting a revolution
Voices in defense of mother earth
Steven Best
Before his 1969 assassination, Chairman Fred Hampton of the Black Panther Party in Chicago famously remarked that, 'When
one of us falls, 1000 will take his place.' This book proves Fred's point. No matter the degree of repression visited upon
it, the spirit of revolution cannot be quelled."-Ward Churchill, author of "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens" As the destruction
of nature reaches new extremes, resistance becomes ever more militant. Radical environmental groups are front page news. From
laboratory bombings to the destruction of ski resorts, this emerging new militancy has been steadily upping the political
ante. Authorities have responded in kind, handing down unprecedented heavy prison sentences for acts of property destruction.
Congressional committees have been convened, the FBI has put revolutionary environmentalists at the top of their domestic
terrorism list, and the "terrorists" themselves promise bigger and more spectacular assaults in the future. This anthology
features a range of voices-from academics to armed revolutionaries-that explore this new form of political struggle. The first
book of it's kind on this increasingly important topic!
Steven Best, PhD, is chair of the department of philosophy at the University of Texas, El Paso. He has published numerous
books and articles on philosophy, cultural criticism, social theory and animal rights, and is frequently interviewed by national
print and radio media. Anthony J. Nocella II is a peace activist who teaches workshops on mediating and negotiating in revolutionary
environments.

Off the map
An expedition deep into imperialism, global economy and other earthly whereabouts
Chellis Glendinning
Drawing on childhood memory, cartography and history, Chellis Glendinnig exposes corporate globalization as the contemporary
form of colonialization and reveals the link between child abuse and the psychopolitics of imperial dominance. Interwoven
throughout is an account of a rambling horseback ride through the badlands and mountains of northern New Mexico with an Indo-Hispano
vaquero named Snowflake Martinez. The challenge of their journey - to rechart the encounter between the people of empire and
the colonised.

Endgame II
Resistance
Derrick Jensen
Whereas Volume 1 of "Endgame" presents the problem of civilization, Volume 2 of this pivotal work illustrates our means
of resistance. Incensed and hopeful, impassioned and lucid, "Endgame" leap-frogs the environmental movement's deadlock over
our willingness to change our conduct, focusing instead on our ability to adapt to the impending ecological revolution.
Derrick Jensen, activist, author, small farmer, teacher, and philosopher, is the author of "A Language Older Than Words"
and "The Culture of Make Believe." A finalist for the 2003 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize whose writing has been described as
"breaking and mending the reader's heart," Jensen's speaking engagements in recent years have packed university auditoriums,
conferences, and bookstores nationwide.

On the wild edge
In search of a natural life
David Petersen
“ Opinionated and iconoclastic, Petersen writes with humor and a well-honed craft that will delight fans of Edward
Abbey.” — "Library Journal" (starred review)
Twenty-five years ago David Petersen and his wife, Caroline, pulled up stakes, trading Laguna Beach, California, for
a snug hand-built cabin in the wilderness. Today he knows that mountain land as intimately as anyone can
know his home.
Petersen conflates a quarter century into the adventures of four high-country seasons, tracking the rigors of survival
from the snowmelt that announces the arrival of spring to the decline and death of autumn and winter that will establish the
fertile ground needed for next year’ s rebirth.
In the past we listened to Henry David Thoreau or Aldo Leopold; today it is Petersen’ s turn. His observations
are lyrical, scientific, and from the heart. He reinforces Thoreau’ s dictum: “ in wildness is the preservation
of the earth.” In prose rich with mystery and soul, his words are a plea for the survival of the remnant wilderness.
“ Many of us would like to live a life of greater intention and simplicity, but few can and even fewer do. David
Petersen is one of those rare human beings among us who lives a wild life with a cultured mind . . . He has created a map
all of us can follow.”
— Terry Tempest Williams, author of "The Open Space of Democracy"

Civil olydnad
Henry David Thoreau
Jag bekänner mig hjärtligt till mottot, 'Den regering är bäst, som regerar minst'; och jag skulle vilja se det efterlevas
raskare och mer systematiskt. Dragit till sin konsekvens, så följer detta, vilket jag också tror på, 'Den regering är bäst,
som inte regerar alls'; och då människor är redo, så är det en sådan regering som de kommer att ha."
Henry David Thoreau
(1817-62) är förgrundsgestalten för den civila olydnaden, hans skrift har influerat både Mahatma Gandhi och Martin Luther
King Jr. Här anfäktar han individens rätt att göra uppror mot massans totala brist på civilt kurage, vare sig det rör sig
om slaveri, krig eller orättvisor. Ingen har någonsin presenterat ett så kraftfullt försvar för mänsklig och individuell själsstyrka.

Maskinernas skymning
John Zerzan
John Zerzan är en av nutidens ledande amerikanska civilisationskritiker, vars tankar om ett äkta levnadssätt präglat av
närvaro och möten mellan människor ansikte mot ansikte, ibland har beskrivits som primitivism, anarko-primitivism och grön
anarkism.
Den kritik av civilisationen som Zerzan levererar går på djupet, och kanske så djupt vi överhuvudtaget kan gå om vi tar
vår utgångspunkt i denna femsinnliga värld. I "Maskinernas skymning" ställs vi bland annat inför massamhällets, globaliseringens
och teknokulturens förödande konsekvenser samt de underliggande orsakerna till deras uppkomst.
Med träffande analyser och tydliga exempel, och med ett flödande, nästan poetiskt språk, fångar Zerzan läsarens uppmärksamhet
från allra första stund och håller den kvar genom hela boken.
Ur innehållsförteckningen:
Krisens ursprung - Patriarkatet, civilisationen och uppkomsten av genus - Om krigets
ursprung - Ensamma tillsammans: Staden och dess interner - Bortom symboliskt tänkande: En intervju med John Zerzan - Förvisad
från närvaro - Den moderna antivärlden - Globaliseringen och dess försvarare: Ett abolitionistperspektiv - Varför primitivism?
- Att hitta vägen tillbaka hem
