McMartin's guidebooks are a must for both the newcomer and the
experienced outdoors person. This guide to Adirondack flatwater
canoeing on lakes, ponds, and quiet streams and rivers is the
second in her series geared to both the young adventurer and the
adult novice. It contains descriptions of places to learn to canoe
and covers all the flatwater stretches on Adirondack rivers and
streams, except those that require camping or long carries.
Barbara McMartin narrates the history of Adirondack environmental
policy in depth, beginning with the 1970 formation of the
Adirondack Park Agency, set up to regulate private development and
to oversee the planning of public terrain. Although hailed as the
most innovative land-use legislation of its time, it ignited a
wildfire of controversy, creating a landscape of conflict. Park
residents protested. Government stood firm. Over the decades,
disparate groups have sought to shape an effective program to
protect Adirondack wildland but cannot seem to work together. This
is the first comprehensive account of that ongoing drama: a
stirring story of the environmental movement, public action, and
government failure and success.
