In this issue of Earth First!, Ed Abbey and Pablo Desierto propose 6 million acres of national forest wilderness in Arizona in the name of EF!, Clod Funnstonn discusses Arctic national wildlife refugees, the ecology movement in Australia is described by Bill Devall, and “Dear Ned Ludd” has plenty of ideas on how to defeat the forces of industrial totalitarianism.     

If nothing else, we in Earth First! can put on a damn good show.
