For half a century, Bob Brown has been standing up to the powerful interests who would put profit before planet. In "Defiance," he draws on this experience to inspire a new generation of individual and collective action. He reflects on the people and places that have shaped him, celebrates the irreplaceable beauty and value of nature and shares what motivates him to keep fighting. He considers the challenges facing nature's defenders - hostile corporate lobbyists, vilification in the press, the powerful pull of consumerism - and shows how courage, persistence and community can defeat them all. Told with Brown's trademark warmth and humour, Defiance is an uplifting call to hope and action.
