	Been Brown So Long It Looked Like
	Green to Me: The Politics of Nature
	.......................................

Drop by Pages in April and meet author Jeffrey St. Clair. The
award-winning investigative journalist will be at our store in Savoy to
talk about his latest shocking book on the battle against the earth.

"St. Clair has verbalized the anger of an entire generation."--John Blair,
winner of the Pulitzer Prize for News Photography

In "Been Brown So Long It Looked Like Green To Me" Jeffrey St. Clair
explores the convergence of forces that are driving the exploitation of
our environment. Avoiding the usual partisan traps, St. Clair shows how
the compromises of the Clinton era in fact opened the door for the ruinous
environmental policies of the Bush years.

The book is an unsparing but hopeful look at a vibrant new movement that's
united in its demand for environmental justice. From Apaches in Arizona to
tree-sitters in the California redwoods, St. Clair gives a well-rounded
account of where the environment (and environmental policy) stands
today-and what can be done about it. "Been Brown So Long It Looked Like
Green To Me" is a comprehensive seven-part reader on environmental
politics, covering everything from toxic chemicals to electric company
power plays.

"Jeffrey St. Clair is the best eco-journalist in the nation. Period. Who
else can so artfully combine talents akin to Rachel Carson's wisdom, I.F.
Stone's erudition, and Edward Abbey's sass? This is a
classic-in-waiting."-Michael Colby, editor of Wild Matters
