From the Publisher
This withering indictment of the environmental establishment by an award-winning science writer and environmentalist charges that it ignores the basic principles of science, economics, and common sense.
From the Inside Flap
No Turning Back is the story of how the environmental movement displaced a conservation movements century of success with a crisis strategy to change not only government policy but also American culture. Kaufman finds the movements conception in the revolt of European and English Romantics against both the rational mind of science and the industrial revolution. He traces the sparks of that movement to America, where it was nourished by Henry David Thoreau, still the writer most widely quoted by environmentalists. While Thoreau declared that "in wildness is the preservation of the world," this book demonstrates the exact opposite: in civilization is the preservation of wildness.
