I deleted three book titles: Greenpeace, Greenpeace III: Journey Into The Bomb, and On The Sky: Zen And The Art Of International Freeloading. The first two were not written by Mr. Hunter and I don't think the third title exists. – Krash 23:07, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

On the Sky definitely exists, though he may have wished it hadn't - it was the novel in the scandal described in the article. Maybe it was originally published under a pseudonym? I've returned its title in that context. Perhaps Hunter wrote forewords or similar for the Greenpeace books, so they appeared on a bibliography or search. Samaritan 23:31, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] co-founder and something

Hello. I am from Japan and poor in English. I want some help of you to rewrite my additions. I corrected some points.

(1) Greenpeace was established in 1969 as "Don't make a Wave Committee", not in 1972. Perhaps the original noted when "Greenpeace Foundation" established.

(2) David McTaggart and Paul Watson are not co-founder of Greenpeace. David took part in Greenpeace in 1972, and Paul took part in Greenpeace in 1974.

Sorry. Paul took part in Greenpeace in 1971. 210.148.130.51 1 July 2005 21:32 (UTC)

I think we need to change the Greenpeace establishment date back to 1972, which was when the Greenpeace Foundation was set up. Prior to this, the organisation was the Don't make a Wave Committee, a predecessor of Greenpeace, established in 1969. This will also make this page consistent with the Greenpeace article. Regarding Paul Watson, he was involved in the 'Don't make a Wave Committee in 1970 and crewed on the Greenpeace Too! in 1971 which was a relief vessel for the Greenpeace I expedition which Bob Hunter was on.--Takver 09:31, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did he write "Cry Wolf!"

An anonymous poster claimed he didn't write the book "Cry Wolf!" (Shepherds of the Earth Pub. 1985). Amazon has a listing for it ASIN B0007B72P8 with not much detail. Can anyone provide documentation as to whether he's the author or not? -GrantNeufeld 3 July 2005 05:58 (UTC)
