520    ""Bright Green Lies exposes the hypocrisy and bankruptcy 
       of leading environmental groups and their most prominent 
       cheerleaders. The best-known environmentalists are not in 
       the business of speaking truth, or even holding up 
       rational solutions to blunt the impending ecocide, but 
       instead indulge in a mendacious and self-serving delusion 
       that provides comfort at the expense of reality. They fail
       to state the obvious: We cannot continue to wallow in 
       hedonistic consumption and industrial expansion and 
       survive as a species. The environmental debate, Derrick 
       Jensen and his coauthors argue, has been distorted by 
       hubris and the childish desire by those in industrialized 
       nations to sustain the unsustainable. All debates about 
       environmental policy need to begin with honoring and 
       protecting, not the desires of the human species, but with
       the sanctity of the Earth itself. We refuse to ask the 
       right questions because these questions expose a stark 
       truth-we cannot continue to live as we are living. To do 
       so is suicidal folly. 'Tell me how you seek, and I will 
       tell you what you are seeking,' the German philosopher 
       Ludwig Wittgenstein said. This is the power of Bright 
       Green Lies: It asks the questions most refuse to ask, and 
       in that questioning, that seeking, uncovers profound 
       truths we ignore at our peril."-Chris Hedges, Pulitzer 
       Prize-winning journalist and author of America: The 
       Farewell Tour"--|cProvided by publisher
