In the summer of 1980, Dave Foreman, along with four
conservationist colleagues, founded the millenarian movement Earth
First!. A provocative counterculture that ultimately hoped for the
fall of industrial civilization, the movement emerged in response
to rapid commercial development of the American wilderness. "The
earth should come first" was a doctrine that championed both
biocentrism (an emphasis on maintaining the earth's full complement
of species) and biocentric equality (the belief that all species
are equal). Martha Lee was successful in gaining extraordinary
access to information about the movement, as well as interviews
with its members. While following Earth First's development and
methods, she illustrates the inherent instability and the dangers
associated with all millenarian movements. This book will be of
interest to environmentalists and those interested in political
science and sociology.
