摘要

In November 2010, President Barack Obama announced the names of 15 people to be recognized with the nation's highest civilian honor: the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Among these notables was John H. Adams, cofounder and longtime head of the pioneering environmental advocacy group, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). Co-authored by Adams and his wife and fellow environmentalist, Patricia Adams, A Force for Nature offers a timely behind-the-scenes account of NRDC's wide-ranging accomplishments during its first four decades.
