Review:
"His accessible style means that Spowers is sure to reach a wide audience, and if Rising Tides cannot call the environmental waverers to action, nothing will. The comprehensive references make it an excellent resource. . . A manifesto for change, Rising Tides ought to be required reading or our politicians." (Geographical Magazine)
"Spowers is, I believe, on the side of the angels. His blueprint for the future at least demonstrates an attempt to offers solutions rather than just to damn the problems and problem makers." (Sunday Times)
"The book does present a concise and well-written history of the environmental movement, as well as a vivid and inspiring survey of where we are now. Spowers is not just 'a writer', he a very good writer, with a clear, compelling style and a passion to match and there is no doubt that what we need now, more than dubious 'qualifications' from the industry-sponsored houses of learning, is the kind of passion and vision that someone of Spower's calibre possesses in spades." (John Burnside The Scotsman)

(John Burnside The Scotsman)
From the Genesis myth to the present day, Rising Tides is an engaging and extensively researched history of ecological thought. Covering a vast spectrum of history and ideas, Spowers visits the most important landmarks in the ecological landscape; and highlights the communities and individuals who have helped shape it. Rising Tides shows how environmental issues have developed from the concerns of an alternative minority to become the most threatening problems of our time. Rising Tides suggests ways in which we can all plug in, rescue our economic system from manipulation by the corporate elite and help to create the sort of world we want to live in.
