"Modern American Environmentalists" profiles the lives and
contributions of nearly 140 major figures during the
twentieth-century environmental movement. Included are iconic
environmentalists such as Rachel Carson, E. O. Wilson, Gifford
Pinchot, and Al Gore, and important but less expected names,
including John Steinbeck and Allen Ginsberg.
The entries recount how each individual became active in
environmental conservation, detail his or her significant
contributions, trace the influence of each on future efforts, and
discuss the person's legacy. The individuals selected for the book
displayed either an unparalleled commitment to the conservation,
preservation, restoration, and enhancement of the natural
environment or made a major contribution to the growth of
environmentalism during its first century.
With a foreword by environmental historian Everett I.
Mendolsohn, a time line of key environmental events, a bibliography
of groundbreaking works, and an index organized by specialization,
this biographical encyclopedia is a handy and complete guide to the
major people involved in the modern American environmental
movement.
