DAVID AND GOLIATH.

Grassroots groups across the country are hard at work pelting pebbles at big business, but are they making a difference? According to Ronald T. Libby's Eco-Wars: Political Campaigns and Social Movements, grassroots campaigns are bringing the business world to its knees. The chapters examine five case studies, ranging from the assault on genetic engineering to the fight to save endangered species, and in each instance highlights an activist group that has had considerable impact. This book is a fresh look at how tiny Davids can successfully influence corporate Goliaths. Available for $21.50 from Columbia University Press.
