Watershed Redemption

Watershed Redemption, Diana Hartel's sweeping, richly researched account conjures up a Bierstadt landscape. With elegant, crystal-clear prose, she weaves a dire yet hopeful tapestry of ecological ignorance, genocide, and tenacious activism. There is something for everyone--environmentalist, policy-maker, ethnologist, historian, biologist, epidemiologist, artist--in this powerful piece of advocacy. --Jonathan Balcombe, best-selling nature writer and ethologist
