In A Dark Wood
by Alston Chase

Drawing upon his remarkable background as a professional philosopher, investigative journalist, and former environmentalist, Alston Chase has written the book about environmentalism—a magisterial work breathtaking in its scope and integration. Most critiques of environmentalism highlight its scientific and economic fallacies, or dwell on the 'extremism' of its proponents. But In A Dark Wood stands virtually alone in unmasking the philosophical premises that spawned the movement and made it a cultural juggernaut. In the process, Alston Chase leaves the environmentalist philosophy and movement in tatters.
