Dramatic
and entertaining...A grand book...Compelling and impressively well
researched...By far the best and most detailed story of the Roosevelt
administration’s fight for conservation.” Kathleen Dalton, The Boston Globe
“The
Quiet World brims over with information and insight, passion and
insistence...In fact, it’s a bit like Alaska itself: large formidable,
raw, and ultimately unforgettable.” Dennis Drabelle, The Washington Post
