Derek Wall
'Where Green History really scores is the way in which Derek Wall
binds together that would otherwise be interesting but
frustratingly disconnected literary snippets. His chapter
introductions are extremely helpful in linking the separate parts
to what emerges as the `green whole'.' - Jonathon Porritt, BBC
Wildlife Magazine
'Derek Wall has assembled some compelling writing to underline how
environmental concerns are as old as civilisation itself ... He
teases out the beginnings of strands now present in current debate.
This is a timely book.' - Tribune
'This book needed writing. It kills off the flip political
assumption that environmental concern has no past. We must be
grateful to Mr Wall for steering a path through what turns out to
be a vast literature - for what is effectively the first time.' -
The Spectator
'If you're after a wider and deeper understanding of the green
movement and its history, this is for you. - The Herald,
Glasgow
'This book contains much that is fascinating and thought-provoking
even to someone who thinks they are well-acquainted with the field,
and is likely to start more trains of thought than slow them.
Surely the intention of all concerned. Take a dip yourself!.' -
Venue
'Derek Wall illustrates the history of the environmental debate in
this excellent anthology of writings ranging from Sappho and St
Augustine to Sismondi and Schumacher.' - The Ecologist
