Thinking Green Essays on Environmentalism Feminism and Nonviolence Author:Petra K. Kelly More than anyone, Petra K. Kelly personified Green consciousness, one of the ascendant social forces of our time. As co-founder of the German Green Party and the European Green movement, she can rightfully be called the social conscience of the late 20th century. In this remarkable collection of her writings, speeches, and interviews... more », Kelly addresses and embraces virtually every issue and every cause that need our protection, and she articulates each with well-informed passion, demonstrating that nothing less than a comprehensive agenda -- disarmament, a clean environment, sustainable development, human rights, women's rights, indigenous rights, social and economic rights, all supported by a non-militarized culture, self-transformation, and the highest personal ethics -- can guide us safely into the future.
"Petra Kelly worked with tireless dedication for the most vital causes of our times -- peace, human rights, the environment -- with an intense morality and selflessness that fairly shone in a public world of expedience, compromise, and greed. Thinking Green! is an impassioned, clear, and cogent exposition of the critical ideas in a burning crusade for humanity that became her life and brought about her death." — Peter Matthiessen
"Petra Kelly has done more than any other individual for the growth of the Green movement. She gave us hope, inspiration, and the strength to carry on the struggle for a world where all people can live in peace and harmony with one another and with the planet." — Patricia McKenna, Co-Secretary, The European Greens« less
