First Along the River is a lively and readable history of the environmental movement in the United States from the time of European contact to the present, suitable for undergraduate courses in a variety of disciplines. I assign it regularly in my Environmental Leadership course since it provides a comprehensive yet concise overview of the topic that can be supplemented with primary source reading. --Benjamin Redekop, professor of Leadership Studies, Christopher Newport University Professor Kline's new edition is highly readable with clear and accurate coverage of historical events. His prose draws you in and makes it easy for the reader to enjoy and learn what he is providing. --Philip McKnight, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, North Adams. MA The fifth edition of Kline's First Along the River adds important new material on dramatic environmental changes the world has seen since 2010, including for example the accelerating impacts of global warming, the rise of the environmental justice movement, the Trump Administration's attack on environmental protection, the COVID pandemic, the Green New Deal, and the significant expansion of youth climate activism. The book has always played an important role in the literature on environmental politics, detailing environmentalism's transformation over time, and Kline's story is now more compelling than ever. --Tony Affigne, professor of Political Science, Black Studies, and Latina/o Studies at Providence College
