Bush Versus the Environment
Bush Versus the Environment, by Robert S. Devine, TPB from Doubleday, ISBN 1400075211. Since becoming president, George W. Bush has reneged on the Kyoto Protocol, pushed for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, weakened protections for endangered species and wilderness, and abandoned his campaign pledge to regulate carbon dioxide. But the president's agenda reaches deeper than these well-known policies. Devine shows how the White House is ignoring science, health, and democracy to quietly and deliberately undermine the entire system of environmental safeguards that has developed over the past thirty years.
