Don’t tell the deep greens, but there are no virgin rainforests. All the
world is defiled. Edited by William Cronon, Uncommon Ground (W. W. Norton,
£24/$29.95, ISBN 0 393 03872 6) is the acceptable face of the
backlash against greens. Its powerful essays attack romantic green icons, such
as virgin rainforests, and those who see wilderness as good and people as
polluters. It is time, it says, to put people back into environmentalism.
