The historic Hudson River Valley is unquestionably one of America's
> most storied places, but over the years it had been much abused. Now,
> as Roger Stone tells us in The Mightier Hudson, communities up and
> down the river are creatively using its natural and cultural resources
> to build a new economy designed to sustain both those resources and
> the livelihoods of the people who live there. By effectively putting
> the lie to the false choice between economic progress and
> environmental protection, it is an important and uplifting story that
> should be read, and applied, by those living in communities along
> waterways everywhere.
