"My hero. I did an intense research project on her. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 I believe. An amazing lady who began her movement by teaching the women and children in Africa, self worth and skill through sustainable living and environmental conservation. Pick up this book to see what wonderful things are still happening in our world, despite what is covered on the news."
"A fantastic (and short) view into how to sustain a social movement that has literally changed the lives of thousands in Kenya - and impacts us globally because of the efforts to save the environment."
"Wangari Maathai's personal account of how she came to be the "Tree Mother" of Africa is the most interesting part of this book. The story is inspiring and fascinating. Her success has been amazing.
The rest of the book deals with more mundane things, like how GBM does its work and the processes it uses in the field. Those sections would only be interesting if you were thinking about replicating GBM, which might not be a bad idea."
