It was written by Kenneth Brower, David Brower's son. For those of you in a different generation, David was one of the founders of the environmental movement in the 70's and founded many organizations, including Friends of the Earth. However, he made one fatal mistake in his career. He had the authority to help make the decision to trade Glen Canyon for Dinosaur National Park (never having visited Glen Canyon). I knew David well, and he never got over what he had done.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_attr" dir="ltr">On Sun, Aug 7, 2022 at 9:16 AM Jochen Fromm <<a href="mailto:jofr@cas-group.net">jofr@cas-group.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">In a small shop in Tofino on Vancouver Island I spotted a nice book named "The Starship and the Canoe" about George Dyson and his father.
