Octavo softcover (VG); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book may reduce your overall postage costs.

Magazine. Condition: Very Good +. 55pp. Quarto [26.5cm]; saddle-stapled. Spine is mildly rubbed and sunned and edges are just a touch creased. Address label of original recipient affixed to the rear wrap. "No Compromise in Defense of Mother Earth!" - Earth First! Earth First! is a group of radical environmentalists that formed i…n the American Southwest in the spring of 1980, founded by Dave Foreman, Mike Roselle, Howie Wolke, Bart Koehler, and Ron Kezar, among others. Earth First! quickly came to national attention with their "cracking" of Glen Canyon Dam activist stunt, which was performed and filmed in the spring of 1981. Edward Abbey is considered to be the "literary father" of the group, and the monkey wrench is their ever-present emblem and tool. "Earth First! is the beginning of the new, bold environmental movement. And 'Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal' is its voice" (Dave Foreman, 1980s). The late-1980s and early-1990s were a tumultuous time for Earth First! Law enforcement cracked down on its members, and various internal issues and factions began to form within the group. Earth First! embraced non-hierarchical structures and organic methods of organization and growth, while continuing to focus on direct action in defense of wilderness as its primary focus. Through the 1990's, 2000's, and 2010's, the journal continued to be published in various forms under the direction of a diverse and rotating collective of voices from within the broad Earth First! movement. Regular print publication of the Earth First! Journal under this title seems to have ceased sometime in the early 2020s, though the movement still survives and maintains a presence online and on social media. Includes articles discussing the UK Badger Cull, First Nations Earth Defense and ALF (Animal Liberation Front) Fur Farm Busts in the Western U.S.

Magazine. Condition: Very Good. 56pp. Octavo [8.5" x 5.5"]; saddle-stapled black and white sheets in color cardstock wraps, zine-style. Sealing stickers (for mailing) adhered to covers. Some light rubbing and general wear. "Our mission is to promote, educate, and inspire the movement for direct action in defense of the natural w…orld through an intersectional, anti-colonial, and biocentric lens, without compromise." - Earth First! "This publication was designed and printed in so-called Kansas City, on occupied Kaw, Otoe-Missouria, Osage, and Ochethi Sakowin lands. [.] We're back! After 20 months, we have resuscitated the quarterly publication you know and lovewith some important differences. You probably already noticed this version of the Earth First! Journal doesn't look like the glossy-cover, newsprint magazine that became a staple of the radical environmental movement from 2010 to 2020, maintaining consistent style and content as it passed through many editorial hands and moved back and forth across the continent. We hope the Journal continues to provide unique and essential reporting on biocentrism-guided direct actions, hard-hitting solidarity campaigns, new theories and analyses, gatherings, debates, and everything else the Journal has represented over the last four decades. However, it was time for a change. [.] Partially due to the pandemic and partially due to its geographical movements, the Journal no longer operates out of a communal home-office combo occupied by short-termers and long-termers who share daily tasks. Right now, the Journal is run by one business manager, a volunteer board made up of long-time EF!ers, a virtual editorial collective, and a team of amazing volunteers (and yeah, we need YOU!). As always, our content is solicited from both EF! and the broader movement for ecological justice and environmental defense, through a biocentric and/or direct-action lens. [.] Here's to another four decades of radical and rowdy resistance. See you at the blockade!" Earth First! is a group of radical environmentalists that formed in the American Southwest in the spring of 1980. The group set themselves apart from other environmental groups of the time with their focus on non-hierarchical structures, organic methods of organization and growth, and especially with their utilization of direct action tactics and sabotage (or "monkey wrenching" inspired by Edward Abbey's novel) in defense of wilderness.
