From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Monkey Girl comes the story of the remarkable visionaries who have quietly dedicated their lives and their fortunes to saving the planet from ecological destruction.

“[Eco Barons] offers encouraging, often inspirational, profiles of nearly a dozen would-be planet savers....[Humes’s] urgent message is clear: we must all strive to become ‘eco barons’ in our own right if we are to save Planet Earth.” – NEW YORK TIMES

“These profiles are lessons in the lasting power of conservation, which, even more than corporate profits, remains an essential part of the great American identity.” - E, THE ENVIRONMENTAL MAGAZINE

“[Eco Barons] will dramatically expand your sense of what you can do for the environment!” - Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and Deep Economy
