Description:
This book is the first major study of the history of
environmentalism, from its origins in romanticism and the nature
cults of the late 18th century to the global environmental
movements of today.

Radkau shows that this is not a single story of the steady ascent
of environmentalism but rather a multiplicity of stories, each with
its own dramatic tension: between single-issue movements and the
challenges posed by the interconnection of environmental issues,
between charismatic leaders and bureaucratic organizations, and
between grassroot movements and global players. While the history
can be traced back several centuries, environmentalism has
flourished since the ?environmental revolution? of
1970, spurred on by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 and the
growing concern about global warming. While environmentalists often
opposed the scientific mainstream, they were also often led by
scientific knowledge. Environmentalism is the true Enlightenment of
our time Ð so much so that we can call our era ?the age
of ecology?.

This timely and comprehensive global history of environmentalism
will be essential reading for anyone concerned with the most
pressing global issues of our time.

2X THE LOVE!
Color: Black
These are fabulous! The weight to them is perfect for tearing off a towel and not tipping. And the color/style works perfectly with our decor. Even my husband who rarely comments on anything said "I really like these!" I have one in my kitchen with regular paper towels and my laundry room with the microfiber towels. LOVE!!

Looks sleek and works great
Color: Warm Gold, Color: Warm Gold
It looks very sleek. Perfect match in color to my kitchen hardware. I was afraid it wouldn’t work as well as my old one but it actually works much better. Less pulling off more paper towels than needed. Even the extra large paper towels fit on nicely.
