Editorial Reviews
Environmental History, October 1997
"...the "new journalism style of writing history, where the reader is forced to trust the author's own interpretation of events; Lamb accurately refers to his own book as "an entertaining and relaxed narrative"...this will be an interesting source for those who do want to write the history of FoE, warts and all.."

Book Description
Published to mark the 25th anniversary of the Friends of the Earth Promising the Earth paints the inside story of a pioneering environmental campaign upon a broader social canvas. While no single organization's history or accomplishments can fairly represent the growth of environmental consciousness, this narrative bears intimate witness to a fascinating and rewarding story which is still unfolding.
Enlivened by arresting illustrations and glimpses of colorful personalities brought to light through the ongoing environmental debate, Promising the Earth takes stock of changing realities in and attitudes to environmental care over the past twenty-five years. Author Roger Lamb uses this chronicle as a platform from which to survey the future which awaits our environment in the 21st century.
