"No Compromise in Defense of Mother Earth!" - Earth First! <br /> <br /> Earth First! is a group of radical environmentalists that formed in the American Southwest in the spring of 1980 founded by Dave Foreman Mike Roselle Howie Wolke Bart Koehler and Ron Kezar among others. Earth First! quickly came to national attention with their "cracking" of Glen Canyon Dam activist stunt which was performed and filmed in the spring of 1981. Edward Abbey is considered to be the "literary father" of the group and the monkey wrench is their ever-present emblem and tool. "Earth First! is the beginning of the new bold environmental movement. And 'Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal' is its voice" Dave Foreman 1980s. The late-1980s and early-1990s were a tumultuous time for Earth First! Law enforcement cracked down on its members and various internal issues and factions began to form within the group. Earth First! embraced non-hierarchical structures and organic methods of organization and growth while continuing to focus on direct action in defense of wilderness as its primary focus. Through the 1990's 2000's and 2010's the journal continued to be published in various forms under the direction of a diverse and rotating collective of voices from within the broad Earth First! movement. Regular print publication of the Earth First! Journal under this title seems to have ceased sometime in the early 2020s though the movement still survives and maintains a presence online and on social media.<br /> <br /> Front cover half-page folded illustration by Hungry Knife shows colorful animal cartoon characters preparing for the "EF!

Inscription reads To Dear Seenae With admiration for your talent and gratitude for your effort to make this book possible. March 30 2008 Yong Ku. Born of wealthy parents but shunned by his father Yong Ku Ahn 1928-2013 suffered through a stormy and traumatic childhood and in his loneliness taught himself to play the violin. Born in 1928 in Wonsan in what is today North Korea Ahn's early childhood included parental rejection and a debilitating bout of polio that cut him off from his family and their social milieu. It was music and the violin in particular that saved him. After World War II Ahn began his professional education. He studied in Germany Austria and London with some of the greatest violin teachers of the 20th century fighting incredible obstacles all the time but he never gave up. In later years after teaching in the U.S. Yong Ku who joined the faculty at the esteemed Peabody Conservatory of Music not only become known internationally as a great teacher but went back to Korea to play an active role in the Korean reunification effort making several trips to North Korea. His fascinating and inspiring story of triumph over tragedy set against a backdrop of Korea's liberation from Japanese rule and the Korean War is told with great feeling and humility and will inspire young people especially young musicians of all nationalities. From a review found on-line: Yong Ku Ahn famed violinist and teacher of music tells of both the sad moments and happy joys of his life in heart-rendering terms. After years of rejection by his parents he reaches a peak experience one day which finally leads him to pick up his dusty old violin and begin to play again in earnest. He describes marvelously one of those snowy days in Wonsan Korea when he noticed an old gramophone at home and "out of curiosity opened the lid to the box. There was a record placed in it. I turned the crank on the side of the box and carefully put the needle arm on the record . Four notes sounded: "Ta ta ta taaah." Then once again "Ta ta ta taaah ." The majestic and passionate notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony pierced his heart like a sharp spear like fate knocking on the door. He writes "The four notes repeated themselves like the persistent unhappiness of my childhood. When the symphony ended uncontrollable tears flooded down my face. Over ten years of loneliness injustice disappointment and sorrow flowed from me as if a dam had burst open. It was a purely miraculous moment never to be recreated in my life: the moment when I realized that there existed a world of breathlessly beautiful sound outside of my cold and miserable existence of constant alienation." Never has the power of serious Western music been better described. How many of us have encountered such an experience on first discovering the beauty of classical music. Ahn went on to become a great violinist a pioneer in the introduction of music playing and appreciation in Korea. He describes his travels his love of chamber music his passionate involvement in the movement to unify Korea north with south. At present the names of his pupils are on marquees of concert halls all over the world. Now eighty-three years old he ruminates on the passing away of time philosophically accepting the loss of members of his "veteran music friends." He ends his memoirs with a heart-warming yet sad commentary on the human predicament. My Sorrows My joys is a delightful book to read by anyone who has felt the cleansing power of great music or the passion of dedication to a great enterprise swelling in his or her heart.
