Reviews
""This easy-to-read book is the first I know of which squarely analyzes and documents the push for a fracking ban in New York. The autobiographical account Buttny includes is gripping because readers get an on the ground, inside look at one town's push for a ban, and it fits nicely because, as the author argues, towns' pushes to ban fracking locally played a large part in pressing the governor to ban the practice.""--Colin Jerolmack, author of Up to Heaven and Down to Hell: Fracking, Freedom and Community in an American Town ""Buttny assembles an engaging and fascinating narrative making great use of oral history interviews and primary sources to understand the effort to ban fracking in New York State. ""--Robert Lifset, author of Power on the Hudson: Storm King Mountain and the Emergence of Modern American Environmentalism
