The sabotage runs far deeper than they expected. . . . Leaving behind Vienna, Austria, for the wilds of Wyoming, Constantine Rea is looking forward to spending summer vacation with his grandparents and six girl cousins on the sprawling family ranch. But he arrives to find all is not well. Grandpa Walker has fallen ill, and his recovery is hindered by troubles at the ranch: cut fences, poisoned cattle, trumped-up charges of environmental abuse, and more. Facing financial ruin, the Walkers may lose the ranch, which has been in their family for generations. Could this be Con's last summer in Wyoming?Con and his cousins devise a scheme to find the cause of all the problems, but the long list of suspects includes a radical environmental group called Mother Earth, some local Native Americans, a neighbor who has always been jealous of the Walker's success-and a wealthy movie star who is poised to swoop in and "take the ranch off their hands." Can the cousins expose the truth before it's too late?

The fascinating story of how Ronald Reagan, self-proclaimed "sagebrush rebel," took his revolutionary energy policies to Washington and revitalized the American economy. Governor Reagan, with his unbridled faith in American ingenuity, creativity, and know-how and his confidence in the free-enterprise system, believed the United States would “transcend” the Soviet Union. To do so, however, President Reagan had to revive and revitalize an American economy reeling from a double-digit trifecta (unemployment, inflation, and interest rates), and he knew the economy could not grow without reliable sources of energy that America had in abundance. The environmental movement was in its ascendancy and had persuaded Congress to enact a series of well-intentioned laws that posed threats of great mischief in the hands of covetous bureaucrats, radical groups, and activist judges. A conservationist and an environmentalist, Ronald Reagan believed in being a good steward. More than anything else, however, he believed in people; specifically, for him, people were part of the ecology as well. That was where the split developed. William Perry Pendley, a former member of the Reagan administration and author of some of Reagan's most sensible energy and environmental policies, tells the gripping story of how Reagan fought the new wave of anti-human environmentalists and managed to enact laws that protected nature while promoting the prosperity and freedom of man—saving the American economy in the process.

Public land management and ownership came under increasing scrutiny in the 1980s, partly because of the increased value of federal lands; prized for their timber, minerals, energy, and amenity outputs. The personal touch and wisdom of one of these prolific and thoughtful writers on land use issues ensure that this book is a valuable addition to a literature to which Dr. Clawson already has made enormous contributions. For its readers, this book provides fresh insights and suggests new approaches to a problem that has been heavily discussed.

In the summer of 1980, Dave Foreman, along with four conservationist colleagues, founded the millenarian movement Earth First!. A provocative counterculture that ultimately hoped for the fall of industrial civilization, the movement emerged in response to rapid commercial development of the American wilderness. “The earth should come first” was a doctrine that championed both biocentrism (an emphasis on maintaining the earth’s full complement of species) and biocentric equality (the belief that all species are equal). Martha Lee was successful in gaining extraordinary access to information about the movement, as well as interviews with its members. While following Earth First’s development and methods, she illustrates the inherent instability and the dangers associated with all millenarian movements. This book will be of interest to environmentalists and those interested in political science and sociology.

This three-volume work traces the history of revolts and rebellions from the colonial era to the 20th century. America has a long history of rebellions extending back before 1776. Revolts have taken place because of economic hard times, the denial of civil rights, racism, sexism, and classism. Studying the reasons for and results of these uprisings provides a window into the life of the American body politic—and what moves the American people to action. Revolts, Protests, Demonstrations, and Rebellions in American History: An Encyclopedia details the history of popular actions from the colonial era to the 20th century. Each event in the three-volume encyclopedia is covered by an overview entry that details who was involved, why the revolt took place, what happened, and what the aftereffects were. Shorter subentries provide further detail on the important people, places, events, and ideas that were a part of the action. By presenting both the broad themes and the specifics, the encyclopedia enables readers to gain a general knowledge of the event or drill down to acquire a greater understanding.

Demonstrates that contemporary forms of opposition to the environmental movement and environmental protection have a common, traceable ancestry in resistance against federal resource policies in the West. Identifies the changing role of the federal government in its natural resource policies, looking at rivalries between different agencies. Analyzes environmental opposition from a political perspective to explain how it fits into a larger political process, examining tactics used by business and grassroots groups in the environmental opposition and groups' linkages to philosophical and ideological agendas such as the modern conservative and libertarian movements. For activists and scholars. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
