The Quiet Crisis by Stewart L Cn Udall

As Mr. Udall's vivid narrative makes clear, the race between education and erosion, between wisdom and waste, has not run its course. . . . The nation's battle to preserve the common estate is far from won.--President John F. Kennedy, from the introduction

Stewart Udall left an indelible mark on this nation and inspired countless Americans who will continue his fight for clean air, clean water, and to maintain our many natural treasures.--President Barack Obama

In his best-selling 1963 book, The Quiet Crisis, Stewart Udall warned of the dangers of pollution and threats to America's natural resources, calling for a nationwide land conscience to conserve the nation's wild places. Along with Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, The Quiet Crisis is credited with triggering the modern environmental movement in America.

Kennedy to be Secretary of the Interior, a position he held for eight years during the administrations of President Kennedy and President Lyndon B. Johnson.
