David Brower: The Making of the Environmental Movement Hardcover - 2015
by Tom Turner
From the rear cover
"This is a brilliant, well-rounded biography of a Great American Hero. Never before has the full thrust of David Brower's life been so thoroughly examined."
--Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Rice University and author of The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America
--Michael Brune, Executive Director, Sierra Club "Tom Turner has written a compelling--and long overdue--biography about one of the earth's true heroes."
--Lester R. Brown, President of the Earth Policy Institute and author of The Great Transition: Shifting from Fossil Fuels to Solar and Wind Energy "As Tom Turner's book clearly and powerfully conveys, David Brower was a trailblazer. He left a few gashes and scars, but so much of the wilderness and its tall trees stand because of Brower's own towering courage."
--Randy Hayes, Founder, Rainforest Action Network and Executive Director, Foundation Earth "David Brower was a friend and, more important, is a hero of mine. He was one of the greatest pioneering defenders of the environment--a Rachel Carson of wilderness and biodiversity. This lively and fascinating book tells his story beautifully and is long overdue."
--Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb "With great skill and narrative drive, Turner shows Brower's crucial role in saving the natural world from dams, logging, mining, and a consumer economy."
--Mark Harvey, author of Wilderness Forever: Howard Zahniser and the Path to the Wilderness Act "As the father of the modern environmental movement and, more important, a friend of the earth, Brower pushed beyond whatever limit or obstacle presented itself. His vision and will catalyzed the evolution of environmental activism in United States and globally. His life is a testament to the fact that one person can truly make a difference."
--Erich Pica, President, Friends of the Earth
