Elizabeth Cripps
What does it mean to be an ‘environmentalist’? Not necessarily what you think it does. At the heart of environmentalism lies a recognition of the essential relationship between humans and nature, as well as a determination to prevent harm – or even disaster – to the climate and environment. These concerns link figures otherwise as different as the Buddha and Marx, Aristotle and Greta Thunberg, Alexander von Humboldt and the Maori people.
For Marxists or anarchists like Edward Abbey, capitalism itself is the problem, but Conservative environmentalists like Roger Scruton saw market forces as the solution. For many others, hope lies not in revolution, but in sustainable development (and sustainable businesses), or even a steady state, zero-growth economy.
Elizabeth Cripps takes us on a whirlwind tour of more than 2,000 years of thought, from Confucius to the youth climate movement. Through concise, biographical portraits that include such diverse life stories as assassination attempts and a crocodile attack, political reform and scientific innovation, we meet those on the front line in the fight to protect our natural world.

Recensies van critici
Cripps proves a warm, accessible guide through a well-curated list of environmentalists' lives, inspiring the reader to join in this great tradition of thinking like an environmentalist in today’s world. Fascinating and compelling.
A tour de force through the global history of environmental thought, this wonderful book provides us with ample ideas about how we might keep Earth inhabitable. Erudite and systematic, it is a must read for anyone interested in past and present traditions of thinking about and caring for the environment.
Elizabeth provides us with profound insights into what the environment is, why we should value it, and how we should protect and enhance it for ourselves and future generations.
