The Man Who Built the Sierra Club: A Life of David Brower
ISBN: 9780231164467 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. David Brower (1912-2000) was a central figure in the modern environmental movement.

To admirers, he was tireless, passionate, visionary, and unyielding. To opponents and even some supporters, he was contentious and...

The book is also about two levels of history--personal, as represented by William Williams, and collective, as represented by Charles Darwin, who lived in Shrewsbury, England, at about the same time as Williams.
