In 1970, a group of young lawyers launched a new kind of
organisation and helped secure the country's bedrock environmental
laws. Ever since, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has
harnessed its legal and scientific expertise to become one of the
fiercest protectors of public health and the environment. In this
recounting of NRDC's 50-year history, cofounder John Adams tells
the ongoing story about fighting the world's most powerful
polluters and winning. Alongside archival photography and insider
accounts, Adams celebrates a half century of victories, everything
from saving whales to getting lead pipes out of Flint, Michigan, to
protecting treasured landscapes, like Alaska's Katmai National Park
& Preserve. But the book is also a road map for the future,
offering hard-won lessons on how to tackle problems that lie at the
intersection of science and society. Today, as humanity faces the
climate crisis, the stakes have never been higher nor the solutions
more complex which is why NRDC remains uniquely positioned as the
earth's best defense.
