Ever since, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has harnessed its legal andscientific expertise to become one of the fiercest protectors of publichealth and the environment. In this recounting of NRDC's 50-year history, cofounder John Adams tells the ongoing story about fighting theworld'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 forthe future, offering hard-won lessons on how to tackle problems that lie at the intersection of science and society. Today, as humanity facesthe climate crisis, the stakes have never been higher nor the solutionsmore complex which is why NRDC remains uniquely positioned as the earth's best defense.
