The popular understanding of what she did remains incomplete, and her role as a woman conservationist has not been well understood. In this, the first book to example her accomplishments as First Lady, Lewis Gould shows Lady Bird Johnson as a catalyst for environmental ideas and as a powerful and persuasive force within her husband?s administration.Although passage of the Highway Beautification Act in 1965 was the legislative apex of her efforts, Lady Bird Johnson also articulated a wide range of conservation issues, framing policy initiatives and focusing public opinion. She instilled conservation and ecological ideas in the national mind, Gould argues, with a skill and adroitness that puts Mrs. Johnson in the front rank among modern First Ladies. Indeed, in his view, only Eleanor Roosevelt surpasses her in importance.This book is the result of Gould?s extensive research in the LBJ Library and draws on his interviews with such key figures as Interior Secretary Steward Udall, Press Secretary Liz Carpenter, District of Columbia Mayor Walter Washington, and Lady Bird Johnson herself. 606 $aUmweltschutz$2gnd 606 $aEnvironmental protection$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00913324 606 $aEnvironmental protection$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$2fast 610 $aBiography: historical, political & military 615 4$aUmweltschutz 615 0$aEnvironmental protection. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection 676 $a973.923/092/4 700 $aGould$b Lewis L$0541243 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910482012603321 996 $aLady Bird Johnson and the Environment$92437028 997 $aUNINA
