Andrea Barnet: Visionary Women, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Rachel Carson warned us about poisoning the environment; Jane Jacobs fought for livable cities and strong communities; Jane Goodall demonstrated the indelible kinship between humans and animals; and Alice Waters urged us to reconsider what and how we eat. This is the story of four visionaries who profoundly shaped the world we live in today: their efforts ignited a transformative progressive movement and formed the bedrock of 1960s counterculture. Together, these women---linked not by friendship or field, but by their choice to break with convention---showed what one person speaking truth to power can do.
