Description
Since the dawn of the modern environmental movement, Frances Beinecke has been on its front lines, leading the charge for clean air, fresh water, healthy wildlife and fertile lands. THE WORLD WE CREATE (Rowman & Littlefield; October, 2014) captures the story of her remarkable tenure as head of the Natural Resources Defense Council, America’s leading environmental advocacy organization, and lays out her vision for the future of the movement and the environmental challenges in the years ahead.
This is the personal story of one of the few women ever to lead a national environmental organization in this country. But more important, The World We Create is a story of solutions, lighting the path forward to the kind of country, and the kind of world, we must leave to our children.
With this book, Beinecke becomes the most prominent environmental voice to date to call for the U.S. to become carbon neutral in our lifetime – and outlines the discreet, achievable steps necessary to get us there.
Advance Praise
***Selected as a “Big Indie Book of Fall” by Judith Rosen, Publishers Weekly***
“For Frances, it's never been enough to accept the world as it is. It is up to each of us to make our own contribution to leaving this world a better place for our children than what was given to us. That's what this book is all about.” — Sigourney Weaver, from the foreword
“Frances Beinecke is not just our great environmental leader, she's also a remarkable thinker and writer. This book comes at a crucial moment in the environmental fight, and it will make a powerful difference!” — Bill McKibben, environmentalist, author, Chairman 350.org
