Reviews
"Kudos to Newt Gingrich and Terry Maple... Let's hope their ideas take root and grow." -- Emmett Duffy, Natural Patriot, "This serves as a useful reminder that the debate about environmental policy is far from over. Recommended for all libraries." -- Library Journal, "Gore and Gingrich, both enjoying their 'elder' status, now must watch as their White House-hopeful juniors wrestle with their enviro-ideas. But here's a prediction: Those who follow Gingrich's techno-optimism will have an easier time than those who put on Gore's hair shirt." -- James P. Pinkerton, Newsday, "As a general proposal for protecting the Earth, A Contract with the Earth is a worthy read for the healthy debate it should stir." -- Internet Review of Books, "A Contract with the Earth is strong in outlining the tremendous proliferation of government/business environmental partnerships and the expansion of strategic, collaborative philanthropy on behalf of conservation." -- G. Tracy Mehan III, Weekly Standard, "'Ten commitments' call for politicians to abandon adversarial politics and for businessmen and conservationists to form 'compatible partnerships.'" -- Publishers Weekly, "The book could be influential in guiding the public onto a commendable environmental path." -- Ecoviews, "Although the authors readily acknowledge the scale and immediacy of the multiple threats facing global biodiversity and do not dispute the science of climate change, their tone is positive, not grave; encouraging, not dispairing." -- Peter Ainsworth, Resurgence, "'Ten commitments' call for politicians to abandon adversarial politics and for businessmen and conservationists to form 'compatible partnerships.'" -- Publishers Weekly, September 17, 2007, "The book... has already garnered praise from the heads of such organizations as the Nature Conservatory and the Wildlife Society." -- Greg Rienzi, Gazette, "Emphasizing that American entrepreneurship can best drive environmental solutions." -- Wildlife Conservation, "The fact that a Republican politician and a zoo executive have coauthored a book extolling the virtues of 'mainstream environmentalism'... underscores how much the green debate has shifted... A Contract with the Earth is an earnest call to deal with worldwide environmental problems, from disappearing species to ever-expanding roadside landfills." -- Juliet Eilperin, Washington Post Book World
