'This book has some significant strengths: a broad political imagination, a refreshing ability to draw together comparisons between different forms of green political activity, and a useful sense of the different trajectories of green movements. It also presents some engaging case-study material.' - Environment and Planning A, David Featherstone, University of Liverpool
