Key Selling Points
This is the first ever book written about the true founder of Greenpeace.Unique in its format?what the book's editor, Bobbi Hunter, calls an ?anthological biography.? The life of an environmental hero, Robert Hunter, is told through the writings of his friends, family, colleagues and peers.An inspiring story of a man of humble means who achieved quiet greatness and international esteem in his time.Focuses not only on the adventures of this important figure in environmental history, but highlights his legacy of enlightenment, action, and wisdom.The book will appeal to the same audience that responds to books about individuals whose lives intersect with the natural world: Wild by Cheryl Strayed, Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard, H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald and Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.Takes readers deeply and personally into real-life experiences of people who, no matter their education or experience, made and are still making a difference to the health of all beings on this planet.Bobbi is comfortable with speaking at public events or to media and has done so many times. Some of the high-profile writers in this book may also be available to fulfil speaking engagements and give interviews about the book.
