In this issue of Earth First! Journal Josh Brown and Patrick Oliver give an update on the protests in Headwaters forest, Ayelet Hines sheds light on genetic engineering, Marty Bergoffen explains how the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a recipe for extinction, and Leslie Call reviews a book about Glen Canyon.

For many people, the developments in genetic engineering conjure images like designer test tube babies, slave clones, a caste system based on genetic perfection or a day when males and their sperm are obsolete. Indeed, this new technology tightens humanity’s grip on nature unlike any other—except perhaps the nuclear bomb.
