LOVE REFUSES TO QUIT

Love Refuses to Quit: Climate Change and Social Change in the 21st Century
Ted Glick, December 2009 (Future Hope Publications)

"[Environmental and anti-coal activist Ted Glick is] very pleased to be able to put [Love Refuses to Quit: Climate Change and Social Change in the 21st Century on the Internet] for anyone who would like to read it while [looking] for a publisher."

[Glick:] "This book was written primarily in response to the passage of federal climate legislation in the House of Representatives in June of 2009 that was woefully weak. A good case can be made that it would be better to go back to the drawing boards and come up with a different kind of climate legislation than for something like this to be passed by the Senate and signed into law. And it’s very likely it will get even worse in the Senate."

[Glick:] ["Love Refuses to Quit: Climate Change and Social Change in the 21st Century is my personal response to this failure of vision and leadership on the part of the Democrats who control the White House and the U.S. Congress as well as, to be honest, most national environmental groups and the progressive movement generally."

[Bill McKibben, climate activist and founder, 350.org:] "Fascinating reflections on a life spent trying to make this country a better place, and to protect the planet of which it is a part. This is a good reminder of the depth and hardship of these struggles--thank heaven there are some people who refuse to quit!"

[Howard Zinn , historian and social critic, on Glick’s earlier Future Hope: A Winning Strategy for a Just Society:] "Ted Glick's Future Hope is a bold attempt, provocative and intelligent, to lay out the strategy and tactics of a new revolutionary movement in this country. It draws on the wisdom of important thinkers and applies that to the unique conditions of our time. Further, it insists on combining the spiritual and and the political, the personal and universal, and dares to suggest what a good society might look like in the future…"
