Perhaps the most striking thing about this book is the vastness of Taylor's research. He is succinct with language and description as he evokes accurate depictions of environmental groups and their plight in the recent history of our global demise. While Taylor doesn't always agree with a group, he is committed to letting each group weave their own tale, and he seems to sincerely appreciate the struggle for which many are willing to risk their livelihood. He is fiercely critical of other groups, but not without purpose. In fact, the true brilliance of this work is how Taylor is able to articulate a cohesive vision from the multiplicity of narratives that inspires a new look at our green pursuits.
