Eco-Warriors was the firstin-depth look at the people, actions, history and philosophies behind the "radical" environmental movement. Focusing on the work of Earth First!, the Sea Shepherds, Greenpeace, and the Animal Liberation Front, among others, Rik Scarce told exciting and sometimes frightening tales of front-line warriors defending an Earth they see as being in environmental peril. While continuing to study these movements as a Ph.D. student, Scarce was jailed for contempt of court for refusing to divulge his sources to prosecutors eager to thwart these groups’ activities. In this updated edition, Scarce brings the trajectory of this movement up to date—including material on the Earth Liberation Front—and provides current resources for all who wish to learn more about one of the most dynamic and confrontational political movements of our time. Literate, captivating, and informative, this is also an ideal volume for classes on environmentalism, social movements, or contemporary politics.

To be accused, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder she did not commit was the beginning of a nine-year nightmare for Joyce Ann Brown. Her conviction is not unique, but her story is. Every day people fall through the cracks of the American judicial system and end up serving time for crimes they did not commit. Joyce Ann Brown learned to fight back when the courts offered no recourse from her injustice, and she triumphed through self-respect, caring for others, and an irrepressible sense of humor. After numerous legal setbacks and personal tragedies, Joyce Ann Brown won her freedom, but her experience is a warning to all Americans, a sobering look at "justice denied" and how easily the freedoms we take for granted can be take away.
