In this issue of Earth First!, Keith Hammer contributes an article on agency abuse of public lands, Jared Diamond contributes articles on preserves in New Guinea and on natural history, and David Abram discusses Lynn Margulis’s and James Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis. In addition, editor John Davis calls for engaging ideological rivals without vilifying them:
It is too easy to attack rivals through the written word. Writing tends to bring out the worst in opinionated persons. If we were to verbally debate differing ideologies with rivals, rather than debate through angry articles, we might be less prone to vilify persons with different ideas.
