The best-selling conservation classic, completely expanded, revised, and
updated David Morine was a briefcase conservationist specializing in

acres of wilderness, finding plenty to laugh about and learn from along
the way. Here are the stories behind the deals and the people who made
them--an enlightening, entertaining, occasionally unsettling look at the
dirty job of keeping America clean.
