Warrior Lawyers: From Manila to Manhattan, Attorneys for the Earth

Worldwide, industries pollute and profit while politicians spin and fiddle – and the planet burns. The law, unlike politics, is founded on facts, evidence and judgment. So a brave contingent of green lawyers now uses the law to force the changes that government and industry attempt to evade. If you believe you're entitled to clean air, pure water and healthy food, you need to hear the voices of these seventeen warrior lawyers from nine different countries: passionate green knights, jousting for the future. “Moving, terrifying, inspirational - these stories stand as a beacon of hope in our troubled world.” Maude Barlow, Council of Canadians “A romp with some of the finest legal minds on the planet...You get to the end and realize you have feasted on both revolution and hope.” Alanna Mitchell, named by the Reuters Foundation as “the best environmental journalist in the world.” “Inspiring interviews with warrior lawyers around the world, whose stories should serve as a call to action in Canada and the U.S.” William Deverell, award-winning novelist, lawyer and environmentalist “A powerful read for anyone who cares about our planet.” Robin R.
