Book Synopsis
The 1978 decision in TVA v Hill, the Court's first decision interpreting the Endangered Species Act, remains one of the most instructive cases in American environmental law. This work reveals that the snail darter case was just one part of a long struggle over whether the TVA should build the Tellico Dam.

Trade Review
Murchison's insightful study provides a revealing look at one of the U.S. Supreme Court's most important environmental decisions and a milestone in late twentieth-century conservation politics. Jeffrey K. Stine, author of Mixing the Waters: Environment, Politics, and the Building of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway ""I lived the legal saga of the snail darter for six years, and so understand better than most just how effectively Murchison has explored and analyzed that case's remarkably complex and shifting agglomeration of law, politics, institutional history, and environmental consciousness. The book is an impressive accomplishment."" Zygmunt Plater, coauthor of Environmental Law and Policy: Nature, Law, and Society, and petitioner and attorney in the snail darter case
