About this title

About the Author:

Stewart L. Udall was elected to four terms as Congressman from Arizona before being appointed by President John F. Kennedy to be Secretary of the Interior, a position he held for eight years during the administrations of President Kennedy and President Lyndon B. Johnson. He is the author of The Quiet Crisis and many other works.

From Library Journal:

Part I of this book, reprinted from The Amicus Journal , identifies current trends in environmentalism. Part II, the major portion, is a collection of essays from 20 environmentalists, including Barry Commoner, Stewart Udall, Gus Speth, and Charles E. Little. Represented are organizations as diverse as The World Resources Institute and the Citizen's Clearinghouse for Hazardous Waste. The spectrum of opinion is wide; priorities may vary. But all would agree that the "challenge . . . is to influence the nature of change so that a healthy earth survives." An important work which will serve as a guide to the future of environmentalism. Recommended.
