Environmental activists

"The debates that surround our environment and conservation efforts are often complex and emotional. Student researchers can use this reference source to explore the many environmental issues and debates through the lives of people who have become actively involved in supporting efforts to preserve our environment. This unique approach to the topic provides profiles of these individuals, highlighting the different reasons for each one's deep involvement in environmental concerns and the different elements involved in the environmental debate as a whole. Profiling over 60 activists, this work puts a human face on environmentalism."--BOOK JACKET.
