From the jacket flap

View Last Stand's video trailer! You probably recognize his name and face as a late twentieth-century media mogul. But who really is Ted Turner? You may think you know him as the say-anything provocateur. The tactless livewire. Notorious lefty or conservative businessman. Dyed-in-the-wool capitalist. Social progressive. Mouth of the South. Yet there are other sobriquets, more personally meaningful to him: Eco-capitalist. Citizen environmentalist. Anti-nuclear weapons crusader. Humanitarian agitator. Bison baron. Bequeather of land.Last Stand is an exploration of Turner's lesser-known but larger scale other life--his journey as a still-evolving green-minded iconoclast who is pioneering another new path forward in the twenty-first century. It chronicles Turner's emergence as a new hybrid category of philanthropist-eco-humanitarian-capitalist.Last Stand goes behind the scenes into Turner's private life, exploring the man's accomplishments and his motivations, showing the world a fascinating and flawed, fully three-dimensional character. Through Turner's eyes we are asked to consider another way of thinking about the environment, our obligations to help others in need, and the grave challenges threatening the survival of civilization.
