Description: Toward Unity among Environmentalists by Bryan G. Norton Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The focus of Nortons book is the distinction between objectives and values in developing environmental policies. Norton argues that environmentalism is a coalition of many groups working toward common objectives, but unlike other social action movements the environmental coalition does not have shared moral principles. Publisher Description Today, six out of ten Americans describe themselves as "active" environmentalists or as "sympathetic" to the movements concerns. The movement, in turn, reflects this millions-strong support in its diversity, encompassing a wide spectrum of causes, groups, and sometimes conflicting special interests. For far-sighted activists and policy makers, the question is how this diversity affects the ability to achieve key goals in the battle against pollution, erosion, andout-of-control growth. This insightful book offers an overview of the movement -- its past as well as its present -- and issues the most persuasive call yet for a unified approach to solvingenvironmental problems. Focusing on examples from resource use, pollution control, protection of species and habitats, and land use, the author shows how the dynamics of diversity have actually hindered environmentalists in the past, but also how a convergence of these interests around forward-looking policies can be effected, despite variance in value systems espoused. The book is thus not only an assessment of todays movement, but a blueprint for action that can help pull together manydifferent concerns under a common banner. Anyone interested in environmental issues and active approaches to their solution will find the authors observations both astute and creative. Author Biography Bryan G.
