Witness: Twenty-Five Years on the Environmental Front Line

London: Andre Deutsch, 1996. 160pp. ISBN 0-233-99024-0

Greenpeace commissioned me to write this book in 1996, for the organization's twenty-fifth anniversary. The book is essentially a coffee-table book of images from a quarter-century of Greenpeace campaigning. It isn't all death and destruction, but also includes some powerful and inspiring photographs. My contribution is an essay over the first 30 pages or so.

Unfortunately, this book is out of print. Besides, it was a commission, so I don't get any royalties anyway. But you can get copies from the amazon.com market place:
