Monkey Wrench Gang Ad
BAM!
Is that an hairy eco-terrorist I hear?
It must be!
Edward Abbey brings a splash of reality to those who have the idea that blowing up bridges and bulldozers might a good idea.
With The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey, we go along with an interesting group of people on their eco-terrorist journey.
We catch our breath and wait for the hiss of a fuse to turn into the scream of an explosion and we feel our toes itch with every police chase.
The Monkey Wrench Gang has us all on our tiptoes as we jump into the midst of Abbey's story, only to finish wanting more.
Our friend, George Hayduke, helps us all learn from his mistakes that blowing up things isn't always the answer.
Even though just one large bulldozer can make 800lbs of air pollution a year, will blowing them up or driving them off into a reservoir really help?
Maybe.
Although his way of thinking is a little off at times, with the help of his good friends, sometimes the clearest of ideas can come through.
Such as blowing up a coal mining belt, or a bulldozer, or even a helicopter!
If you think about it, ruining hundreds of tractors that all belong to one company could easily persuade them to stop their construction. And doesn't that stop the pollution in that area?
Even though blowing things up might not be the right answer, the journey The Monkey Wrench Gang takes you on is still a hell of a lot of fun!
So don't miss out!
Go out now and read The Monkey Wrench Gang so Abbey can catch you before you turn into a Hayduke.
