Foreman, Dave, et al., eds., Earth First! 6, no. 6 (21 June 1986). Republished by the Environment & Society Portal, Multimedia Library. http://www.environmentandsociety.org/node/6870.
This issue of Earth First! features news from the campaigns of various EF!ers throughout the US. Ecologist Reed Noss discusses natural diversity, TO Hellenbach contributes a seminal piece on the history of monkeywrenching, and Denise Heidel puts focus on the Western Red Cedar grove in Southwest Washington that is threatened by Weyerhauser’s logging plans.
I honestly believe that the most important, creative, honest, and provocative writing in the environmental movement in the world today is in these pages. Earth First! is the only environmental journal of which I know (other than a couple of very good but small academically-oriented newsletters) that is carrying on a discussion about values, tactics philosophy—that is offering important new ideas, and a critique of the environmental movement.
