Rating  - Save Rivers, Blame GE
The RIVERKEEPERS is the most important book written in the last 15 years on the modern environmental law movement. This is the story of the battle for control of America's vital resources (i.e., water, air, and fishes,) that sustain life in this country. These resources belong to the PEOPLE, but are being taken away by large-scale private interests. This is the story of the people of New York's forty year fight to take back THEIR blessed Hudson River. If you want cleaner water and a purer democracy, you must read this book, and then go out and fight for OUR rivers. God Bless America's Rivers.
Rating - One of the Best BOOKS about the Environment I've ever read !
This is a phenomenal book. If you've ever kayaked or fished the Hudson River or just looked out over it and dreamed, this is a must read. The other reviews on this page express my feelings precisely. The writing is extremely descriptive and emotional. You won't be able to put the book down.

Rating - One of the Most Important Books I've Ever Read
It's hard to say enough about this powerful book. You will be energized by the hope and vitality of the authors, and sickened by the incredible amounts of dangerous, polluted waste they state certain corporations dump in our rivers just to save a few bucks. The authors' view that all of us have a right to a clean, safe environment (especially waterways) is right on! Please read this book...it will shake the sleep from your eyes and spur you on to make a difference in this world.
Rating - Inspiring, grassroots approach to environmentalism
Activists John Cronin and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., wade through the murky Hudson River, sneak onto corporate property, confront corrupt officials, take the polluters to court, and patrol the river in the Riverkeeper boat. The theme that emerges is that the best place to start improving the environment is in our own neighborhoods. Very inspiring.
