The Sierra Club, which was started exactly 100 years ago by a small group of people uniting to protect California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, is now a complex international organization that actively pursues a wide array of environmental issues. As its president during the 1990-91 term, Merrow recounts what she describes as "the most demanding, exasperating, exhilarating, and stimulating experience I ever expect to have." Much like a campaigning politician, Merrow spent her year in a frenzy of activity, giving speeches, raising money, attacking Bush, and attending endless meetings. Over and over she tries to impress the reader with her boundless dedication, her hectic schedule, and her willingness to neglect her family for the sake of the cause. Her journal is made uneven by her juxtaposing serious national concerns with too many trivial details. Do we really care about her bouts of airsickness, her frequent mood swings, or the menus of the dinners she attended? Though it highlights many important concerns of the Sierra Club, this book is only a marginal purchase for comprehensive environmental collections.

We ship orders every day, Monday through Friday, (excluding Postal Service holidays) usually by 12PM. If you need to cancel or make changes to an order, please do so as soon as possible -- many requests we get regarding orders are not fulfilled because we find, pack, and ship the book before the buyer contacts us. If you receive a confirmation e-mail from us, it means your order has been shipped and we can no longer make changes to it.
