About this product
Product Information
Reveals how boosters, bureaucrats, and engineers--not grassroots protesters--were truly the ones responsible for spearheading the passage of the Clean Water Act of 1972. How these unlikely protagonists helped to pass the era's most far-reaching regulatory law gives us rare insight into how Congress was able to take the lead in addressing those concerns, namely in the form of water quality issues.
