Conserving Words: How American Nature Writers Shaped the Environmental Movement
I really enjoy the thrust of this book. That nature writers had a profound effect on environmental movements points to a lesson that environmentalists should pay attention to: it ain't all about science and policy! I wish the book was a bit more accessible, so more folks would read it. Also, I would probably have enjoyed the text more if I wasn't a grad student. The books I enjoy most these days are escapes from academic drudgery. Nevertheless, the message is great, and it's the kind of book you can pick up and just read one chapter (my fav is the Edward Abbey/Earth First! one).
