		Edward Abbey called The Monkey Wrench Gang a "comic extravaganza," which it is, although one with a clear, serious mеssаgе: to protect the American wildеrnеss from the forces of commercial enterprise.
		With "The Monkey Wrench Gang", Abbey sрun a fantastic tale of a hodgepodge band of characters that were bound by а love for the west, and distaste for anything that they saw as ruining it.
		For all that "The Monkey Wrench Gang" inspired a generation of environmentalists, "Hayduke Lives" is Abbey's сritiquе of the fourteen years that come in between.

		And The Monkey Wrench Gang was Abbey's means of sharing his devotion to the American Southwest with those who had never experienced its beauty or, who like me, dwelt uncaring within it.
		On its surface, The Monkey Wrench Gang is little more than the Robin Hood-esque tale of a merry little band of "eco-raiders." It details their antics as they gallivant about the Colorado Plateau wreaking havoc on anyone who would build a road or dam, drill a well, or dig a strip mine.
		Even when the gang is being chased in a hail of bullets, they respond only by disabling their pursuers' vehicles.

	The Monkey Wrench Gang
		This edition was first published in 1985 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original publication and was soon sold out, but a reprint came in 1990 with additional illustrations by Crumb from the 1987 Monkey Wrench Gang Calendar.
		Of course, what the Monkey Wrench Gang does is outrageous, un-American and inimical to the sacred concept of property, and I thoroughly condemn them.

		Ed Abbey called The Monkey Wrench Gang, his 1975 novel, a "comic extravaganza." Some readers have remarked that the book is more a comic book than a real novel, and it's true that reading this incendiary call to protect the American wilderness requires more than a little of the old willing suspension of disbelief.
		The "gang" itself consist of the usual gang of 1970s era idiots.
		The Gang is constantly on the run, and is going from one action to the next without much time to doubt themselves and worry themselves into despondency.

	Monkeywrenching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monkeywrenching is economic warfare by sabotage with the intent to slow down or halt activities which the monkeywrencher perceives as destructive corporate activities.
		The phrase to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery dates to 1918, although the metaphorical sense of throwing a monkey wrench, meaning an obstacle or hindrance, is a bit older.
		The term "monkeywrenching" received a public boost from Edward Abbey's novel The Monkey Wrench Gang, and later on, Ecodefense by Dave Foreman.

		The group Earth First!, inspired by The Monkey Wrench Gang, was part guerilla theater, part anarchistic posturing and part Luddite-inspired vandalism, and it dramatically reframed the environmental discussion.
		One of the main characters in The Monkey Wrench Gang, a sweaty, hairy, beer-swilling military vet fascinated with weapons and explosives and named George Washington Hayduke, became a symbol of this idea of refusing to compromise in the war to save the planet.
		Peacock notes, referring to his alter ego in The Monkey Wrench Gang: "The only thing worse than reading your own press was becoming someone else's fiction." He is deeply troubled by this appropriation of large pieces of his identity, and the conflict is a theme that corkscrews throughout his memoir.

	THE MONKEY WRENCH GANG - DONUTS, THE - - CHAPTER 7 (www.thedonuts.com) - -
		THE DONUTS seem to be after the Bob Pollard award for midwest pop industriousness as "The Monkey Wrench Gang" is, by this writer's reckoning, their third album in a feverish 18 months or so.
		Thankfully, they are capable of ensuring the quality levels keep pace with the quantity, as the majority of the 12 songs making up the brief-but-just-about-right 29 minutes of "The Monkey Wrench Gang" are full of ideas and get-to-the-point hooks which ensure the album's pretty much enjoyable from wall to wall.
		"The Monkey Wrench Gang" is apparently based on a (wait for it) 30-year old ecological tract of the same title by author Edward Abbey.

		Edward Abbey's second bestseller, The Monkey Wrench Gang, was published in 1975 and soon sold — according to his admirer, the conservationist and writer Doug Peacock — 500,000 copies.
		Indeed, the gang invent what they think is a rather improbable radical native group as a cover for their sabotage.
		For the Monkey Wrench Gang, the conservation movement is either the plaything of serious political manipulators or simply wimpish, or both.

		Nor did I expect that the story would be as realistic and ultimately plausible as it in fact was.
		The Monkey Wrench Gang isn't a bunch of comic book superheroes for whom everything always works out in the end.
		There's a tendency in these sort of works to present the protagonists as some sort of magical Bugs Bunny or Coyote-like tricksters who never face the real problems someone blowing up bridges and draining the oil from construction machinery would be likely to face.

		But one of them did not hesitate to criticize it, stating that the signers were coming to the issue "at the 11th hour (with a) last-minute monkey wrench (and were all) a little behind the learning curve on some very complex matters."
		They are shaped and aggravated, however, by the seeming inability of the media and local elected officials to even talk about their fundamental causes ‚Äì uncontrolled rates of population growth and an inability of developer-friendly politicians to embrace principles of economic sustainability.
		Until our local, state, and federal government officials ‚Äì along with the water agencies, the planning agencies and the media ‚Äì are willing to confront, discuss and deal directly with population growth issues, they themselves are the monkey wrench gang.

	Idaho Observer: The Hundredth Monkey Wrench Gang
		When studying the monkeys there they discovered that, when a monkey on one island began to exhibit a particular behavior—and the behavior was then copied by other monkeys on the same island—monkeys on other islands began exhibiting the same behavior, even though they were separated by bodies of water.
		This observation demonstrated the monkeys "collective consciousness." The scientists also observed that when a certain percentage of the monkey population had adopted the particular behavior, the new behavior then became common in monkey society.
		But hundreds of monkey wrenchers, who want to actually own their property again, might successfully squeeze the pustules out of "government" and reclaim the Right to absolutely own property.

		Last week was a slow week because of a family health issue that turned our world upside down for two days (all is ok now) and some friends that visited the past few days.
		This is one of the classics that helped start the environment activism movement and imprinted the phrase monkeywrenching in the minds of many people.
		Abbey’s writing is brilliant (I guess it’s time to read a few more of his books), and stood out in stark contrast to An Inconvenient Truth.

	The Monkey Wrench Gang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Monkey Wrench Gang is a novel written by American author Edward Abbey (1927-1989), published in 1975.
		The novel concerns the use of sabotage to protest environmentally damaging activities in the American Southwest, and was so influential that the term "monkeywrench" has come to mean, besides sabotage and damage to machines, any violence, sabotage, activism, law-making, or law-breaking to preserve wilderness, wild spaces and ecosystems.
		The greatest hatred is focused on the Glen Canyon Dam, a monolithic edifice of concrete that dams a beautiful, wild river, and which the monkeywrenchers seek to destroy.

		An adjustable wrench whose "end" or "top" jaw half is integral with the handle and the "inner" or "lower" jaw half moves along the "handle" section.
		Not that other wrench designs couldn't screw up "the works" just as well when "thrown in" or be just as effective (or more) at loosening critical nuts/bolts.

		Said about the band and totally accurate is this quote from Splendidzine: "(the bands`) immediate melodies and poignant imagery help to make The Donuts more nourishing than their name suggests, without going overboard with dull, doughy filler.
		"The Monkey Wrench Gang" probably won`t wipe out third world debt or even let down the dignitaries` tyres at the nearest G8 meeting for that matter.
		Get snacking." It`s clear on this third outing, the band have found comfort and confidence in their muse and "The Monkey Wrench Gang" exemplies this fact and is an exemplary example of an indie pop band being challenging, ambitious and successful with pushing boundries with aplomb and style.

		When in 1975 my late friend Ed Abbey published his novel, "The Monkey Wrench Gang," I immediately bought a copy and read it.
		I could identify with the book, since I was familiar, personally or by reputation, with many of the individuals whose identities were thinly disguised in the novel.
		And most importantly, like the author, I knew and loved the southern Utah landscape in behalf of which the "gang" – Doc Sarvis, Bonnie Abbzug, G. Hayduke and Seldom Seen Smith – were carrying out their mayhem.

		Despite the half-baked ecoterrorist ideology, the clumsy stabs at shaping a female character (liberation = sex and drugs, natch), and a somewhat repetitive series of getaway sequences, this thriller somehow manages to remain consistently entertaining.
