Campaigns for Change: Safeguarding the Environment

Product Description

Many of the rights that we enjoy today have come about through long struggles by bold and determined reformers. Often, opposition to change has been equally determined. And in our own society, and elsewhere in the world, there are still many issues that need to be addressed. This book charts the slow, and often fiercely contested, movement towards understanding the damage to the Earth that human activity can cuase and what needs to be done to safeguard our future. Featuring many vivid, first-hand accounts, it includes detailed information on the people and events that have changed history. It also explains where, and why, these campaigns for change still continue today.
