Reveals how George Fell, with few assets apart from his tenacity and vision, initiated the natural areas movement. In the boom years following World War II he transformed a loose band of ecologists into The Nature Conservancy, drove the passage of the influential Illinois Nature Preserves Act, and helped spark allied local and national conservation organisations.
