Recommended by William C. Clark, Harvey Brooks Professor of International Science, Public Policy and Human Development
Stewart Udall reached beyond … to sketch a broader and longer-term vision of a truly humane world worth striving for. More unusually and, at least for me, importantly, he set forth a pragmatic agenda for achieving that vision. This called (among other things) for individual citizens to do their best at coupling scientific knowledge with political agitation in a synoptic approach to the interconnected challenges and opportunities confronting us. When Udall showed up at Yale the next year as a visiting professor at the School of Forestry, I used my familiarity with the book to wrangle my way into his graduate seminar. His combination of idealism, pragmatism, and simple humanity made this remarkable public servant — and his “Agenda for Tomorrow” — the closest thing I know to the lodestar for my subsequent career.
