description: The Rest of the World is Watching brings together, for the first time, the thoughts of Green activists, politicians, commentators, and writers, to provide a provocative insight into the internationally famous Green Experiment in Tasmania, and its significance of Australia. Home of the world's first Green party in 1972, Tasmania continues at the vanguard of the world environment movement with the Greens' historic rise to win the balance of power in 1989.The Rest of the World is Watching records the great Green battles, from the tragedy of Lake Pedder to the inspirational victories on the Franklin River and at Wesley Vale; looks at the new Green philosophy that is changing the way we view ourselves and our world; analyses the consequences and politics of the greenhouse effect; examines the successes and failures of the Green/ALP Accord and conclues with Bob Brown's vision for the future.The Rest of the World is Watching is more than a record of a historic movement. It is an indispensable guide to the new ideas and politics that will shape the 21st century, and the inevitable effects they will have on all our lives. It shows how it is possible for us to make a Green future now, not only in Tasmania, but everywhere.This is not another book for the ninties. It's a ticket for safe passage in the next century.
