30(7-8), Jul-Sep, 2025: p.24-24 My head for a tree: The extraordinary story of the Bishnoi The world’s first eco warriors by Martin Goodman Hachette India, 2025, 270 pp. Rs. 699 (HB) ISBN 9781800818712. My head for a tree is not romantic pastoral. It is an alternative to modernity, it is a political statement. One in which community, spirituality, and ecological consciousness are not discrete spheres but a continuous way of life. The Bishnoi are not environmentalist in the way we use the term. –Reproduced Biblio: A Review of Books 260514
