"The body of the book presents compact biographies of 380 20th-century activists from every field of endeavor and every part of the globe. The attention paid to those involved in the arts and letters is refreshing. In addition to the more obvious inclusions, there are some that might surprise, such as Virginia Woolf, R.D. Laing, Selma Lagerlof.... The value of this resource is further enhanced by profiles of more than 80 radical groups and movements. The writing is uniform and graceful. This fine resource provides excellent coverage of radical activism." - School Library Journal "Short bibliographies...[are] a significant and very useful feature since the biographies pack coverage of their subjects' formative influences, thought, activities, and accomplishments into one concise page. Biographies are cast in a reportorial fashion with an objective tone." - Rettig on Reference (Gale.com) "The reasonable price and global, gender-balanced approach make this work an attractive reference companion." - Library Journal "A fine reference on modern radical thought and action." - Reference & Research Book News "An interesting, well-written, and valuable source, of interest to scholars and students of political and social movements." - Choice
John Button has been active in environmental politics for over 20 years.
