The following is an excerpt from the July edition of the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve Docent Newsletter. It was sent to me by a new Just Progress member, Andrew Donovan-Shead, and recommends a book I think will be of great interest to all of us concerned about Environmental Integrity.
Alice Outwater's "Water: A Natural History" is an excellent book, a model of
lucidity. Outwater has gathered all the ecological threads known today and woven
them into whole cloth in the form of a tapestry that makes visible the complex
interconnected dependence of Life. Anyone with any sense and sensibility will
find this book disturbing and will recognize the truth of her story. "Water: A
Natural History", by Alice Outwater, is worthy of and deserves your close
attention because it bears directly on public policy that is often the cause of
decreasing biodiversity and degredation of environmental health.
