Non-Fiction Memoir
An
inspiring celebration of courageous American innovators who are
transforming the way we protect and care for the world we
live in.
The environment, and the movement that grew up to protect
it, is under
attack--concerted and purposeful. Yet the need for solutions to
pressing environmental problems grows more urgent each day.
Teresa
Heinz Kerry and Senator John Kerry traveled across the
country in a
national campaign to see at first hand how these issues
unite people
across party and ideological lines. From the San Juan Basin
to the Gulf
of Mexico to the South Bronx, from mothers on Cape Cod to
Colorado
ranchers, they found a vibrant coalition of people and
communities
deploying ingenuity, technology, and sheer will power to
save the world
they know and love. Now, in this passionate and personal
book, Senator
John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry shine the spotlight on an
inspiring
crosssection of these new environmental pioneers. The
book
combines intensive research with keenly observed personal
experiences
to present a portrait of Americans devoted to the natural
diversity and
spectacular uniqueness of our country. It also includes an
extensive
guide on where and how readers can get involved.
About the Author
John Kerry has served
four terms as Senator from Massachusetts. As ranking member and
Chairman of the Fish and Marine subcommittee, he was able to
write or
rewrite laws affecting national fisheries, flood insurance,
marine
mammals, coral reefs, the Gulf of Mexico dead zone and to
engage very
directly in the battles over global climate change,
alternative and
renewable fuels and fuel efficiency standards.
