Restoring the Shining Waters by David Brooks
No sooner had the EPA established the Superfund program in 1980 to clean up the America's toxic waste dumps and other abandoned hazardous waste sites, than a little Montana town found itself topping the new program's National Priority List.
At last, the Clark Fork River has found its historianDavid Brooks's treatment of the Clark Fork and the Milltown Dam is beautifully written, exhaustively researched, thorough, and fair. In the spirit of Edward Abbey, Restoring the Shining Waters tells the story of what legal monkey-wrenching can do to save America's impounded waterways. It is a model study in environmental history and political risk taking - the definitive account of a long and arduous struggle to restore a significant and lovely river."" - David M. Emmons, author of The Butte Irish: Class and Ethnicity in an American Mining Town, 1875 - 1925
