Paul Bolster's (UGA 1972) "Saving the Georgia Coast: A Political History of the Coastal Marshlands Protection Act (2020, U Georgia Press) brings to light the intriguing and colorful characters who formed that coalition: wealthy island owners, hunters and fishermen, people who made their home on the coast, courageous political leaders, garden-club members, clean-water protectors, and journalists. It explores how that political coalition came together behind governmental leaders and traces the origins of environmental organizations that continue to impact policy today. Saving the Georgia Coast enhances the reader's understanding of the many steps it takes for a bill to become a law." Paul Bolster, a former member of the Georgia House of Representatives (1975-1987), is an historian, freelance writer, and speaker. *Published with the generous support of Wormsloe Foundation Nature Books.
