Book Review

Politics, Pollution, and Pandas: An Environmental Memoir. By Russell E. Train. Washington, D.C.: Island Press, 2003. xiii + 376 pp. Illustrations, notes, index. $28.00.

Russell E. Train's resume makes him a shoo-in for any environmental "who's who" list: undersecretary of the Department of Interior (1969), first chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ, 1970), second administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 1973), founding director and later head of the World Wildlife Fund in the United States, board member and advisor for numerous organizations. In Politics, Pollution, and Pandas: An Environmental Memoir, Train promises to "tell the environmental story of the Nixon and Ford years and their aftermath from the perspective of one who was privileged to have a central role in both the formulation of environmental policy and its implementation" (p. xii). Unfortunately, the book falls short of this ambitious goal, and instead offers only tantalizing glimpses into this extraordinary time of environmental change.
