This good Earth: The view from Audubon magazine

Written by Les Line, editor of the magazine of the National Audubon Society for 25 years who expanded its mission beyond birds and beasts to environmental issues like oil spills. During his time as editor--1966 to 1991--circulation increased 14 times. He won particular praise for sprucing up its visual appeal, adding color and clarity to its photography. He turne Audubon into what some regarded as “the most beautiful natural history magazine.” This is his description of the planet that drove him on.
