This issue of Earth First! features numerous tributes to the late Edward Abbey, a great inspiration to Earth First!, who died 14 March 1989. In addition, Mitch Freedman discusses logging under the title “Old Growth vs. Old Mindsets,” Jamie Sayen sheds light on ethics within the area of ecological restoration, and Dolores LaChapelle contributes a reflection on the industrial growth society.
"Concrete and asphalt and iron are heavy, oh, so terribly massive and heavy—but water is stronger, grass is stronger. So long as the light of the sun continues to shine, the green tough grass of life will continue to grow and to break through the dead heavy static oppressive barriers of the industrial prison-house."
— Edward Abbey
