Requests:  0 Summary:  In 1991 Doug Tompkins abandoned his comfortable life in San Francisco and flew to Patagonia. The founder of groundbreaking companies had come to regret the corporate capitalism from which he had profited from years. As a CEO he had caused much pollution and "made things nobody needed." Now he was determined to reverse the damage to the planet, and maybe even himself. Franklin tells how Tompkins became one of the primary founders of our modern conservation and land protection movement. His dream became his life. Only in death did it become his legacy. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 333.72092 Tompkins Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.72092 Tompkins Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.72092 Tompkins Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.72092 Tompkins Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
