Biografie Jack Doyle

Auteur van "Trespass Against Us"

Jack Doyle is director of J. D. Associates, a Washington, D.C. investigative research firm specializing in business and environmental issues. He has been writing about technology, business and the environment for more than 20 years. Publisher's Weekly called his June 200 book on the U.S. auto industry, Taken For A Ride (Four Walls Eight Windows Inc.) "a valuable source for...partisans on all sides of the debate."

At Friends of the Earth in the 1990s, Doyle wrote Crude Awakening, a book on the U.S. oil industry, and Hold The Applause!, a critique of DuPont's "corporate environmentalism." A 1985 book on agricultural biotechnology, Altered Harvest (Viking-Penguin) is regarded as a pioneering work on the subject. In the 1970s, working as a lobbyist and policy analyst at the Environmental Policy Institute, Doyle wrote reports on the coal mining industry that helped move strip mining legislation in Congress.

Lines Across The Land, a 1979 exposé of the U.S. rural electric cooperative system, was used by liberals and conservatives to push reforms at the U.S. Rural Electrification Administration. Doyle's writing has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsday, Boston Globe, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Des Moines Register, San Francisco Chronicle and TomPaine.com, among others.

He has consulted with various public agencies and private clients, including the President's Council on Environmental Quality, the former Congressional Office of Technology Assessment, the AFL-CIO, several national environmental organizations, and Fortune 500 companies.

He has also appeared as an expert witness before U.S. Congressional committees and has served on the board of the Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies in Boston. He holds degrees from Millersville University and the Pennsylvania State University.
