The sad thing is, it's not over yet. Even though Luddite Lennon has now left the building, it still looks as though his cash cow mill will go ahead, which makes the launch of Greg Buckman's new book, Tasmania's Wilderness Battles all the more poignant, and important.

Tasmania's Wilderness Battles is the story of the seemingly never-ending war between conservationists and business and industry over the future of the island state's precious wilderness areas. From the struggle to save Lake Pedder and the Franklin River, to the violent protests at Farmhouse Creek, to the current battle over the Gunn's pulp mill in the Tamar Valley, “Tasmania's Wilderness Battles” is a comprehensive insight into the history of environmental activism in Tasmania.

Its author, Greg Buckman, has been there for many of these battles, and has written four books about Tasmania's environment and activist issues. He will be talking about his experiences, and his new book, at Fuller's Bookshop on Thursday, 12 June, at 6pm. This is an event which should not be missed, and a book that should not be overlooked, for all those who care about Tasmania's beautiful, yet fragile, wilderness.
