"This story highlights just how fragile environmental victories are."
Wildlife Activist
"Roadless Rules is an informed and informative read."
Midwest Book Review
"Roadless Rules is an in-depth examination of one of the greatest conservation victories in history—the Clinton Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which protected 65 million acres of roadless area in national forest from road building and logging. After eight years of the Bush administration's indefatigable effort to reverse or undermine it, Clinton's handiwork has stood the test of time. Tom Turner explains why the initiative was breakthrough and how it has withstood ongoing assault."
Carl Pope, Executive Director, Sierra Club
"There's no one better than Tom Turner to tell this epic tale, for he was one of the people who made it come out mostly right. It's an important chapter of American environmental history m and of our democratic history too, because for one the voice of millions was not muffled by special pleading from the powerful."
Bill McKibben, author of "Deep Economy"
