Environmental journalist Philip Shabecoff begins his book on the American environmental movement, A Fierce Green Fire by guiding the reader across the American landscape as it might have looked to a 15th-century European. He creates a verdant land populated with unharried wildlife and noble savages, all living in absolute harmony. Sadly, this paradise is spoiled by villainous Europeans who invade the Edenic garden and, within a few hundred years, transform it into Hell's backyard. This sets the stage for Shabecoff's discussion of those who fought to protect the environment by making the environmental decision-making process more democratic and, therefore, less destructive.
