Getting the Word Out in the Fight to Save the Earth
Author: Richard BeamishPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Beamish argues that the key to saving and restoring our environment is "getting the word out." As a former director of communications for the National Audubon Society and a consultant to an array of environmental, cultural, and educational groups, he draws on thirty years of experience to show what works and what doesn't for every type of organization - large and small, rich and poor, established and newly conceived. Much of the advice in the book is based on his recent efforts to save one of the largest natural areas in the eastern United States - the Adirondack Park of New York State. Beamish describes how in just three years his organization quintupled its support through an aggressive direct-mail campaign, kept its surging membership informed and active, flooded politicians with mail at every critical juncture, and used the power of the press to spread its message far and wide.

Defending Mother Earth
Author: Jace WeaverPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
"Defending Mother Earth brings together important Native voices to address urgent issues of environmental devastation as they affect the indigenous peoples throughout the Americas. The essays document a range of ecological disasters, including the devastating effects of mining, water pollution, nuclear power facilities, and toxic waste dumps. In an expression of "environmental racism," such hazards are commonly located on or near Indian lands." "Many of the authors included in Defending Mother Earth are engaged in struggles to resist these dangers. As their essays consistently demonstrate, these struggles are intimately tied to the assertion of Indian sovereignty and the affirmation of Native culture: the Earth is, indeed, Mother to these nations. In his concluding theological reflection, George Tinker argues that the affirmation of Indian spiritual values, especially the attitude toward the Earth, may hold out a key to the survival of the planet and all its peoples."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
