Intelligent Courage is a fascinating, highly readable book devoted to Mike Fraidenburg's important theme; successful careers in natural resources, now more than ever, require conviction and strength to "do the right thing” ecologically for the American landscape and the American culture. Through fascinating interviews of successful leaders in resource management, Fraidenburg describes how their strength and use of people skills paid off, and how especially their use of "street smarts" helped them achieve their goals. I am highly recommending this great book to my friends and students!
