Review

"Gaylord Nelson is known and respected throughout the world as a founding father of the modern environmental movement and creator of Earth Day, the most influential public awareness campaign ever undertaken on behalf of global stewardship." "Now in the twilight of his career, Nelson offers guidance to a new generation. With the same eloquence that rallied the public more than thirty years ago, he details today's most crucial environmental concerns - from species and habitat losses to global climate change and population growth. Ever hopeful, Nelson outlines a compelling strategy for the planet and inspires citizens to reassert the environment as a national priority."
