A lifelong career in activism and advocacy led to the extraordinary
success of the Green Belt Movement, a nonprofit grassroots organization
founded by Kenyan Wangari Maathai. In her new book The Green Belt
Movement (Lantern Books, $15), Maathai offers both the history of the
movement and information on where it's heading. Centering on
planting trees, restorative agriculture and empowering women, the
movement was founded to confront Kenya's problems of soil erosion
and poor access to drinking water and energy. It has made a major
difference, and The Green Belt Movement is a powerful and informative
book.
