 http://tinyurl.com/pfvpoke\n\nThe fight over the tar sands in North America 
 is among the epic environmental and social justice battles of our time, and 
 one of the first that has managed to quite explicitly marry concern for 
 frontline communities and immediate local hazards with fear for the future 
 of the entire planet.\n\nTar sands “development” comes with an enormous 
 environmental and human cost. But tar sands opponents—fighting a powerful 
 international industry—are likened to terrorists; government 
 environmental scientists are muzzled; and public hearings are concealed and 
 rushed.\n\nYet, despite the formidable political and economic power behind 
 the tar sands, many opponents are actively building international networks 
 of resistance, challenging pipeline plans while resisting threats to 
 indigenous sovereignty and democratic participation.\n\n“Avoiding 'game 
 over for climate' requires drawing a line in the tar sands sludge. A Line 
 in the Tar Sands makes clear why and how this tar sands quagmire could be 
 the beginning of the end for the mighty fossil fuel industry.”\n—Dr. 
 James Hansen, NASA\n\nThis book features contributions from Winona LaDuke, 
 Bill McKibben, Naomi Klein, Clayton Thomas-Muller, Harsha Walia, Jeremy 
 Brecher, Crystal Lameman, Melina Laboucan-Massimo, Yves Engler, Cherri 
 Foytlin, Macdonald Stainsby, Yudith Nieto, Greg Albo, Brian Tokar, Jesse 
 Cardinal, Rex Weyler, Jess Worth, and many more.\n\nJoshua Kahn Russell is 
 a core trainer, facilitator, and action coordinator with The Wildfire 
 Project and the Ruckus Society. He currently serves as the Global Trainings 
 Manager at 350.org, and has trained thousands of activists. His blog is
