inspiring and lyrical

This is a lyrical and inspiring collection of true stories about people who made a difference. In each case, an individual or group of citizens, motivated by love of place, decided to take on big powers and seemingly overwhelming challenges. Bottom line: determined and creative citizens can win. The book is a pleasure to read and a powerful antidote to the cynical and defeatist attitude that it is too late and too difficult to defend our habitats, watersheds, rivers, and last wild places from degradation.
