Against the odds, the Hudson Valley has cleaned up its act and rediscovered its soul. In this well researched and passionate treatise on the much celebrated but long abused Hudson River, author Roger D. Stone describes how protecting New York City’s drinking water supply, making innovative efforts to safeguard views and open space, and reconnecting communities with long abandoned stretches of priceless shoreline have combined to bring about a new age of spirted restoration in a region that long seemed condemned to cultural and environmental mediocrity.
Stone links disparate historical, cultural, political, and environmental threads to clearly show the multiple forces that have made this turnaround happen, a vivid example of new ideas and values for a nation struggling to counter devastating economic and environmental effects of misusing the landscape. The extraordinary revival of the majestic Hudson River estuary and its surrounding areas, even in communities where hope was long in short supply, shows remarkable results when it’s done right.
Roger D. Stone is an environmentalist, journalist, author, nonprofit executive, and the author of Dreams of Amazonia, which was called “first rate” and “masterful.” As a World Wildlife Federation vice president and founder and president of the nonprofit Sustainable Development Institute, he has produced four other well received books on an environmental-economic connections with an emphasis on tropical forests and seacoasts. Among them are The Voyage of the Sanderling, The Nature of Development, and Tropical Forests and the Human Spirit. Stone is a member of the External Advisory Board for Yale’s multi-disciplinary Institute for Biospheric Studies, and serves on numerous boards and committees. A resident of Washington, D.C., he publishes the nonprofit newsletter Atlantic CoastWatch.
