It is an astonishing 25 years since Friends of the Earth became part of the
British scene. In Promising the Earth (Routledge, 拢9.99/$16.95,
ISBN 0 415 14444 2), Robert Lamb looks back from the perspective of the 鈥渂attle
for Twyford Down鈥� over the history and prehistory of the environmental movement.
Fascinating, sometimes scary, but ultimately optimistic. Will Twyford Down
really be remembered, as Lamb hopes, as the defeat that won the war?
