Loading... This Fragile Land: A Natural History of the Nebraska Sandhills (edition 1995)by Paul A. JohnsgardIn the manner of Aldo Leopold, Johnsgard writes with a love of the land, in a layman's tone, through the eyes of a scientist. Lay people reading this, however, may be somewhat discouraged by the tables and graphs; these could be skipped, and still get the idea of the work. Johnsgard obviously loves the Sandhills, and his love shines through. A good book, well worth the read, but spoiled by the last sentence in which he dismisses all Ecologists with a statement so false that it is obviously a bone to his readers to compensate for the fact that he didn't give agriculture a pass in discussing human impacts in the Sandhills. |
