In 1977, one forward-thinking judge took an ecological disaster--the poisoning of the James River by Allied Chemical--and turned it into a great environmental-protection legacy. The $8 million payment made would go on to fund the Virginia Environmental Endowment. This book provides an account of this ruling’s results and the foundation it spawned.
