Losing Ground: American Environmentalism at the Close of the Twentieth Century

Description

""Losing Ground" is an ambitious and brave book. Mr. Dowie has marshaled an exceptionally broad array of facts and produced a provocative explanation for why a once vibrant social movement is flagging....one of the truly important books on a genuinely American social movement."
-- Keith Schneider, "New York Times Book Review"

"Perhaps the most interesting environmental book published yet this year."
-- "The Washington Times" A recent history replete with compromise and capitulation has pushed a once promising and effective political movement to the brink of irrelevance.
