There is no such thing as too extreme for Mike Roselle. The environmental activist has scaled the Golden Gate Bridge and Mount Rushmore to call attention to environmental issues and driven spikes into trees to sabotage loggers' chainsaws. He's even held camps to teach more than 1,000 youths how to do the same. Now Roselle has a new book, Tree Spiker: From Earth First! to Lowbagging: My Struggles in Radical Environmental Action. He talked with TIME about his choice of methods, where we're winning the battle against climate change and why politicians should be getting arrested...

...Other canine units are also on the scene. On Saturday, at the Ambacang Hotel, where dozens are believed to still be trapped in the massive wreckage, a pair of Japanese dogs - Eros, a German shepherd, and Akane, a Golden retriever - begin sniffing through the mountains of rubble from the once-graceful colonial-style historic building. The dogs were each trained for five years for such missions, but this is their first time in the field overseas.
