Featuring SchNEWS 351-401, this book also covers many of the past year's other stories from the rebel frontlines, including GM crop-trashing, international activists in Palestine, and the 10th anniversary of Castlemorton. All that plus loads of new articles, photos, cartoons, subverts, satire, a comprehensive contacts list, and more…'
