Regarding Nature, Anti-Industrialism and Deep Ecology

In my review of three books dealing with recent environmental criticism, I argue a fairly noncontroversial point, i.e., people write books so that their political positions will be granted greater acceptance or accorded additional authority in order to improve public life, end some crisis, or advance a moral good. The adoption of environmental rhetorics to pursue power-generating or power-seeking outcomes is now in vogue, and various figures, such as Andrew McLaughlin, Al Gore and David Oates, seem to be hustling for more recognition, influence, and followers in their environmental analyses by trekking across various expanses of ecology's green turf. Therefore, the image of green hustlers is not an entirely useless category of analysis
