Earth First! Fist, Volume Six

Foreman, Dave, et al., eds., Earth First! 6, no. 3 (2 February 1986). Republished by the Environment & Society Portal, Multimedia Library. http://www.environmentandsociety.org/node/6867.


This issue of Earth First! features the efforts to protect the Northwest in Alaska and British Columbia; Tom Stoddard, George Wuerthner, and Stephanie Mills contribute provocative essays; and Christoph Manes problematizes the question of technology.

It is an exciting time to be alive as Earth First!ers plant their spears into the ground and make a stand for life from the far corners of the land. We are the land, and the land is us.
