In 1965, the Walt Disney Company proposed building a massive ski resort in the Sierra Nevada mountains, which was approved by the federal government in 1969, and would have irreversibly altered the practically untouched Mineral King Valley, a magnificently beautiful Alpine area. At first it seemed inevitable that this expanse of wild natural land would be radically changed and turned over to a private corporation. But then the scrappy Sierra Club pushed back with a lawsuit that ultimately propelled the modern environmental law era. Author Daniel Selmi, an expert on environmental law and appellate advocacy, deftly brings to life the complete history of this revolutionary legal battle and the ramifications that continue today, almost 50 years later.

About the author:

• Fritz B. Burns Chair in Real Property Emeritus, Loyola Law School Los Angeles
• Specializes in Land Use Law, Environmental Law and Appellate Advocacy
• Former Chair of California State Bar Section on Environmental Law
• Argued 39 cases involving environmental and land use law in state and federal appellate courts
