preface from Heaven is Under Our Feet.
Don shows that he's an amazing writing with a great
understanding and intellect for all things
environmental. If you haven't read this in a while,
consider doing so again. We hadn't picked up the
book in ages and it was interesting to go back and
read these things 15 years later. Of course now the
Tom Cruise and Paula Abdul pieces don't seem quite
so cool.
