With political leaders who deny climate change, species that are fighting for their very survival, and the planet's last places of wilderness growing smaller and smaller, what can a single person do? In \u003ci\u003eNature's Allies\u003c\/i\u003e, Larry Nielsen uses the stories of conservation pioneers to show that through passion and perseverance, we can each be a positive force for change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In eight engaging and diverse biographies--John Muir, Ding Darling, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, Chico Mendes, Billy Frank Jr., Wangari Maathai, and Gro Harlem Brundtland--we meet individuals who have little in common except that they all made a lasting mark on our world. Some famous and some little known to readers, they spoke out to protect wilderness, wildlife, fisheries, rainforests, and wetlands. They fought for social justice and exposed polluting practices. They marched, wrote books, testified before Congress, performed acts of civil disobedience, and, in one case, were martyred for their defense of nature. \u003ci\u003eNature's Allies\u003c\/i\u003e pays tribute to them all as it rallies a new generation of conservationists to follow in their footsteps. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These vivid biographies are essential reading for anyone who wants to fight for the environment against today's political opposition. \u003ci\u003eNature's Allies \u003c\/i\u003ewill inspire students, conservationists, and nature lovers to speak up for nature and show the power of one person to make a difference. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Nielsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610917960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610917964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Island Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2017","brand":"Larry Nielsen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938774483199,"sku":"9781610917964","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_395961b6-619a-4394-9ff1-298705b1eec9.jpg?v=1681437646","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/natures-allies-larry-nielsen-9781610917964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
