More about the book

The power of one person is unbelievable. The power of many individuals can be explosive-making history and stopping massive destructive projects. This happened in coastal Alabama. A GADFLY'S MEMOIRS documents 30 years of "people power" making significant changes and saving the integrity of Mobile Bay! This isnot fiction, but fact. Myrt was called a Gadfly by a state Senator and found that she was in good company, as Socrates was teh first Gadfly. As E.O. Wilson succinctly says: In democratic societies people may think their government is bound by an ecological version of the Hippocratic Oath, to take no action that knowingly endangers biodiversity. But that is not enough. The commitment must be much deeper...to let no species knowingly die, to take all reasonable action to protect every species and race in perpetuity. WE NEED GADFLYS! GADFLY: An intentionally annoying person who stimulates or provokes others by persistent irritating criticism.
