Summary

Filling a gap in British political literature, this title provides the most comprehensive account yet of this part of key radical environmental movement strategy, which has been used recently to address issues from road building to G M foods, consumerism and global financial institutions. It is essential reading for students of Politics and Environmental Studies as well as all those interested in the development and impact of direct action in environmentalism.
