Description: Sanders examines the rise of environmental activism in Seattle amidst the "urban crisis" of the 1960s and its aftermath. Seattle's activists came to influence everything from industry to politics, planning, and global environmental movements.

Review Quotes: Sanders offers a vivid and compelling history of environmental activism in Seattle. His work is resourceful and well synthesized. It is an exciting story, without being overly nostalgic . . . one likely to inspire many to support and lobby for healthy and humane neighborhoods in their own communities.-- "H-Net Reviews"
