Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. A 2" tear to dustjacket (now in clear, protective sleeve). Signed by Russ Peterson. CD-Rom is present. Throughout his inspiring memoir, Peterson shows how strongly he has taken that aphorism to heart. In 1968, Peterson, who has a Ph.D. in chemistry, retired from…a flourishing, 26-year career at DuPont to pursue a life of public service. The organizational and management skills he had refined in the business world formed the backbone of his successful campaign to become governor of Delaware. From his new office, Peterson led the restructuring of the antiquated executive branch, drastically improved funding for education and pushed forward the controversial Coastal Zone Act, which prevented the state's beautiful wetlands from being turned into the site of a major oil-industrial complex. After losing his bid for reelection, Peterson went on to influential positions as the chairman of the Presidential Council on Environmental Quality, the head of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment and the president of the National Audubon Society, among others. Signed by Author.

"The birds of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, their epic journeys to populate it, and the variety of their lives that unfold on it, are compellingly represented in this beautiful book" (E.O.
