Published to mark the 25th anniversary of the founding of Friends
of the Earth, this volume offers an account of the Green Movement.
It presents an insight into the ups and downs of environmental
campaigning within the context of modern events and attitudes. The
inside story of Friends of the Earth's pioneering campaigns is
revealed - from the anti-whaling campaigns of the 1970s through to
the anti-road campaigns of the present. The narrative bears witness
to the broader process still unfolding: the maturing of the
environmental movement and the challenges that a highly uncertain
new millenium holds for tomorrow's green campaigners. Features of
the text include: coverage of specific campaigns, including Twyford
Down, countryside access/protection, anti-whaling, fur trade, and
anti-nuclear campaigns; a variety of illustrations and photographic
art from cartoonist Steve Bell, artist Simon English and others;
and news photographs of campaign actions, headline events and
disasters.

When preachers in a rural Georgia town launch a campaign to ban
selected novels from the high school curriculum and post the Ten
Commandments in every classroom, only one person stands up to them:
English teacher Anne Brady, an "outsider" from Atlanta who opposes
censorship and champions the separation of Church and State.
Refusing to "go along to get along," she finds herself a social
outcast locked in a battle to save her job and reputation. For
help, she turns to another outsider, lawyer Eugene Shapiro, who as
the county's only Jewish attorney knows all too well what his
client is up against. By the time Anne's case spills into court
from a heated school-board meeting, the mood of the county points
toward a legal lynching - or worse, as some of the more zealous
defenders of the faith have drifted beyond the reach of law or
reason. This novel is a powerful reminder that not all religious
fanatics live in the Middle East. America has its own home-grown
variety.
Since 1996, the Puerto Vallarta Writers Group has provided a home
for authors published, self-published, and aspiring. This year, the
PVWG has created an anthology of its writers' best short stories.

excellent, and we invite you to read them for yourself. We promise
an enjoyable reading experience. All proceeds from the sale of this
book will be donated to the Los Mangos Library in Puerto Vallarta
Thomas Paine is a legendary Anglo-American political icon: a
passionate, plain-speaking, relentlessly controversial,
revolutionary campaigner, whose writings captured the zeitgeist of
the two most significant political events of the eighteenth
century, the American and French Revolutions. Though widely
acknowledged by historians as one of the most important and
influential pamphleteers, rhetoricians, polemicists and political
actors of his age, the philosophical content of his writing has
nevertheless been almost entirely ignored. This book takes Paine's
political philosophy seriously. It explores his views concerning a
number of perennial issues in modern political thought including
the grounds for, and limits to, political obligation; the nature of
representative democracy; the justification for private property
ownership; international relations; and the relationship between
secular liberalism and religion. It shows that Paine offers a
historically and philosophically distinct account of liberalism and
a theory of human rights that is a progenitor of our own.
