Review

"Profits-firsters, Earth-First!ers and everyone in between will find plenty here to deplore, celebrate and deny hopefully. All will be made uncomfortable as their deepest beliefs are questioned. Sometimes creepy but always essential. That's about all you could ask from a book. It's the best I've seen on the subject."--Whole Earth Review"It will stimulate many in these varied fields to rethink the assumptions that guide their definitions of both disaster and risk."--Contemporary Sociology
