              <h2>About the Book</h2>

              <article>

                <p>Radical ecology typically brings to mind media images

                  of ecological activists standing before loggers' saws,

                  staging anti-nuclear marches, and confronting

                  polluters on the high seas. Yet for more than twenty

                  years, the activities of organizations such as the

                  Greens and Earth First! have been influenced by a

                  diverse, less-publicized group of radical ecological

                  philosophers. It is their work—the philosophical

                  underpinnings of the radical ecological movement—that

                  is the subject of <i>Contesting Earth's Future</i>.<br>

                  <br>

                  The book offers a much-needed, balanced appraisal of

                  radical ecology's principles, goals, and limitations.

                  Michael Zimmerman critically examines the movement's

                  three major branches—deep ecology, social ecology, and

                  ecofeminism. He also situates radical ecology within

                  the complex cultural and political terrain of the late

                  twentieth century, showing its relation to Martin

                  Heidegger's anti-technological thought, 1960s

                  counterculturalism, and contemporary theories of

                  poststructuralism and postmodernity.<br>

                  <br>

                  An early and influential ecological thinker, Zimmerman

                  is uniquely qualified to provide a broad overview of

                  radical environmentalism and delineate its various

                  schools of thought. He clearly describes their

                  defining arguments and internecine disputes, among

                  them the charge that deep ecology is an anti-modern,

                  proto-fascist ideology. Reflecting both the movement's

                  promise and its dangers, this book is essential

                  reading for all those concerned with the worldwide

                  ecological crisis.</p>
