Coyotes and Town Dogs: Earth First! and the Environmental Movement

Coyotes and Town Dogs is a history of the U.S. environmental movement since Earth Day, told in a dramatic narrative that traces the evolution of Dave Foreman, founder of the radical environmental group Earth First!, from disillusioned Washington, D.C. insider to rabble-rousing radical. This book proves that the environment isn’t boring — or at least that it wasn’t when the cockeyed cowboys of Earth First! were grabbing headlines. A solid history that manages to read like Tom Wolfe in his fast-paced, rock-and-roll prime, Coyotes and Town Dogs gives you the greatest hits of the century-old American conservation movement in a book that’s become a cult classic among twenty-somethings who care about the planet.
