3) Tony and the Cows: A True Story from the Range Wars
Will Baker

University of New Mexico Press. New with no dust jacket; .. 2001. Softcover. New. No remainder marks. ; 0.39 x 9.08 x 6.12 Inches; 121 pages; In 1995 Will Baker traveled to California&#146;s Trinity River to write a magazine piece on the annual Earth First! Rendezvous. There he met activists, students, mystics, freaks, witches, troubadours, guerrilla poets, and visionaries&#151;among them a passionate defender of the Southwest desert named Tony Merten, a former officer in the Rio Grande chapter of the Sierra Club. The two struck up a friendship and debated vigorously their views on matters environmental. One issue in particular roused them: the increasingly hot controversy over the century-old practice of allowing ranchers to graze livestock on public lands for a nominal fee. <P>Seven months later Tony Merten, who made his New Mexico ranch a habitat for wildlife, shot himself to death while under suspicion in the criminal investigation of the wanton shooting of thirty-four cows and calves. The tale of Tony and the cows leads us&#151;inevitably, in Baker&#146;s account&#151;to a reassessment of the roots of contemporary eco-philosophy in all its manifestations: the Animal Rights movement, Deep Ecology, technophobia, and the fashionable tributaries of Native American and Eastern thought. Baker&#146;s implication is obvious and urgent: we cannot preserve &#147;Nature&#148; until we understand, accept, and deal with human nature. <P>This book delivers a jolt of that truth, and it invites readers to begin a tough reassessment of our environmental crisis. <P>&#147;Baker, essayist and novelist, wrests from this unsolved case a crackling mystery, a jolting eco-parable, and an extended meditation on humanity&#146;s relationship to the planet. . . . It will challenge environmentally minded readers to rethink and fortify their positions.&#148;&#151;Publishers Weekly . (more information)
