Saved in time : the fight to establish Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Colorado

"Reads like a mystery thriller wherein a handful of committed environmentalists forestall the destruction of America's premier fossil beds. Brings to mind John Nichols's The Milagro Beanfield War and Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang. It is a true story with a happy ending (unless you're a real estate developer)."-Jack Loeffler, author of Adventures with Ed: A Portrait of Abbey
