Frequently compared to John Muir, David Brower was the first executive director of the Sierra Club, founded Friends of the Earth, and helped secure passage of the Wilderness Act, among other key achievements. Tapping his passion for wilderness and for the mountains he scaled in his youth, he was a central figure in the creation of the Point Reyes National Seashore and of the North Cascades and Redwood national parks. In addition, Brower worked tirelessly in successful efforts to keep dams from being built in Dinosaur National Monument and the Grand Canyon. Tom Turner began working with David Brower in 1968 and remained close to him until Brower's death. As an insider, Turner creates an intimate portrait of Brower the man and the decisive role he played in the development of the environmental movement. Culling material from Brower's diaries, notebooks, articles, books, and published interviews, and conducting his own interviews with many of Brower's admirers, opponents, and colleagues, Turner brings to life one of the movement's most controversial and complex figures. 606 $aEnvironmentalists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aConservationists$zUnited States$vBiography 610 $abiography. 610 $aconservation in the american west. 610 $aconservationists. 610 $adavid brower. 610 $adinosaur national monument. 610 $aenvironmental activism. 610 $aenvironmental activists. 610 $aenvironmental conservation protection. 610 $aenvironmental legislation. 610 $aenvironmental movement. 610 $aenvironmental scientists. 610 $afriends of the earth. 610 $anational parks. 610 $anorth cascades national park. 610 $apoint reyes national seashore. 610 $aredwood national park. 610 $asierra club. 610 $awilderness act. 615 0$aEnvironmentalists 615 0$aConservationists 676 $a508.092 700 $aTurner$b Tom$f1942-$01553732 702 $aMcKibben$b Bill 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797358403321 996 $aDavid Brower$93814486 997 $aUNINA
