Beskrivning

**Please note that the 2011 paperback is an exact reprint of the original hardback which was released in 1991**This book offers a detailed record of one of the world's oldest environmental pressure groups. It raises questions about the capacity of pressure groups to influence policy; and finally it assesses the campaing as a major factor in the emergence of modern town and planning, and as a backdrop against which to examine current issues.
