Book Description
Greater in area than Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Olympic, Yellowstone, and Glacier national parks combined, New York State's Adirondack Park is the largest public park in the nation. A land of contrasts and paradoxes, loved, feared, exploited, protected, argued over, eulogized, and affected for better or worse by the hand of man for more than 300 years, the Adirondack forests, rivers, lakes, and peaks attract nearly 9 million visitors a year. From the geologic origins and glacial scouring of the region, to Indians, early settlers, and the logging, mining, and tourist industries, Jane Eblen Keller unfolds the dramatic history of the Adirondacks and the men and women who tried to tame the wilderness. The author also recounts how man and nature have interacted with each other in the region, indeed, how our American attitude toward nature shaped Adirondack history. This is a highly readable and amusing introduction to both Adirondack and conservation literature.

Adirondack Green tells the story of a small American town that decides, after much debate, to put a wind turbine on top of the local ski mountain. This one Danish wind turbine is able to power the entire town. The Class of 2004, consisting of 32 high school seniors, learns on the first day of school in September that they must contribute 100 hours of community service in order to graduate in June. The story follows five of these seniors, who are assigned to help five older members of their community. Together, they build five extraordinary friendships and move their little town toward a global renaissance.
