This sociology of the green movement begins by distinguishing between "green" and "environmental" concerns. Green not only indicates a commitment to nature apart from its use to humans, but to radical democracy and equal social arrangements. The study centers, almost exclusively, on the West, with chapters focusing on the roots of green praxis and ideology (greens being more allied with left traditions); green parties in Germany and France; EMOs (environmental movement organizations like Greenpeace); direct action groups in Britain, the US, and Australia who use "manufactured vulnerability" (risk) as a strategy (like Earth First!); smaller, short-lived local groups; and finally a look at all these groups in relation to a greater green movement. Doherty is lecture in politics at Keele University and a member of the UK Green Party. Distributed by Taylor and Francis. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
