McPhee, John.  1971.  Encounters With the Archdruid (Narratives about a conservationist and three of this natural enemies).  Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, New York.  245 pp.


This is a very good treatment of the philosophy in action of one of the greatest environmentalists we have had, David Brower. 

From the back cover of the book:

"The importance of this lively book is the unimaginably proliferating literature on ecology is in its confrontations between remarkable men who hold great differences of opinion with integrity on all sides.  Mr. McPhee, not pushing, just presenting, portrays them all in the round, showing them clashing in concrete situations where factors are complex and decisions hard.  Readers must choose sides."  --  The Wall Street Journal
