You Can't Fool Mother Nature Byron Kennard

Fifty years after the first Earth Day in 1970 - with catastrophic climate change breathing down our necks - does environmentalism even have a future? It does, declares Byron Kennard - a triumphant one no less. Kennard knows what he's talking about. He's one of the people who organized the environmental movement back in the 1960s - over a half-century ago - and he's lived to tell the story. ... He argues that humanity has no future - not one worthy of the name anyway - unless environmentalism triumphs. This triumph is coming because - thanks to the Environmental Revolution and all it taught us - we know what to do and how to do it. ... Now, facing catastrophe, the next generation is determined to remove the barriers that have so far prevented us from acting on what we've learned. Now we must act, and young people are going to make sure we do." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "In the present dire circumstances, there's a uniquely satisfying way for individuals to commemorate Earth Day's 50th anniversary. That is to read Byron Kennard's new book, You Can't Fool Mother Nature, a riveting, rollicking history of the environmental revolution, filled with insights that are rare, fascinating, and amusing." - Geoff Webb, Former Political Director, Friends of the Earth ---------------------------------------------------------- This book documents how Earth Day actually emerged and honors all those involved over the years, by the mastermind and master networker who pulled us all together and was a force of nature in steering the environmental movement! And Byron Kennard is not done yet! Read this book and be re-energized and re-inspired!" - Hazel Henderson, Founder, Ethical Markets Media, LLC
