A progressive Mormon raised in rural Arizona, Udall served in the presidential cabinets of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson from 1961-1969. During these eight years, he established dozens of new national park units and national wildlife refuges, wrote the Endangered Species Preservation Act, lobbied for unpolluted water, and offered ways to beautify urban spaces and bring the impoverished out of poverty. Later in life, he offered sound solutions for a society obsessed with oil. In a day and age of partisan politics, poor congressional approval ratings, global warming and climate change, what can we learn from this farsighted individual? In this book - the first environmental biography of Stewart Udall - environmental historian and public lands enthusiast Scott Einberger chronicles the writings, sayings, and doings of a highly important conservationist and environmentalist. Intimate moments including Udall's learning of the Kennedy assassination, his push for civil rights for African Americans, his warnings about global warming 50 years prior to Al Gore's Nobel Prize film, and his meeting in the U.S.S.R. with Nikita Khrushchev - the first Kennedy cabinet member to do so - are also shared."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Udall, Stewart L. 600 17 $a Udall, Stewart L. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00016054 650 0 $a Cabinet officers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Conservationists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Environmentalists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Reformers $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Cabinet officers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00843535 650 7 $a Conservationists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875578 650 7 $a Environmentalists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913554 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Reformers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092647 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 776 08 $i Online version: $a Einberger, Scott. $t With distance in his eyes. $b First edition. $d Reno : University of Nevada Press, [2017] $z 9781943859634 $w (DLC) 2017041589 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021023144.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210406015239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=144275F6688611E8A317244297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
