Important.… Egan’s book serves as a reminder that the ecological universe we inhabit is vastly connected and cannot be easily mended by humility and good intentions.Įgan’s knowledge, both deep and wide, comes through on every page, and his clear writing turns what could be confusing or tedious material into a riveting story.īrings the Great Lakes’ decline-and moments of rebirth-to life.… Firsthand tales from the people directly involved in the Great Lakes’ unfolding ecological drama drive Egan’s brisk narrative forward. Judges’ citation, Grantham Award of Special Merit for Environmental Beat ReportingĪ compelling chronicle of the many, many (many) man-caused hazards that have threatened the largest source of accessible freshwater in the world.Ī marvelous work of nonfiction, which tells the story of humanity’s interference with the natural workings of the world’s largest unfrozen freshwater system. Vicky Albritton and Fredrik Albritton Jonsson - Los Angeles Review of BooksĮasy to read, offering well-paced, intellectually stimulating arguments, bolstered by well-researched and captivating narratives.ĭan Egan has done more than any other journalist in America to chronicle the decline of this once-great ecosystem. Suspenseful, superbly informative, crucial.įascinating and brilliant… Egan’s narrative often moves like a thriller. After time overseas experiencing English country life, I was married in a tiny, Virginia-creeper covered country church, near Uralla, NSW. I returned home and went to a country university. And while the accents might be different, everyone still knew each other’s names. Golden aspens shivered in the autumn air instead of evergreen gum trees. Elk grazed in my front yard instead of kangaroos. Here my attachment to rural areas and small towns grew. Post-school, I lived in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado as an exchange student. And small communities are the heart of the bush. Summer days were spent catching yabbies in dams and wet winter afternoons riding through temporary creeks. The eldest of seven children, I grew up chasing sheep on a family farm outside Tamworth. I feel the most at home when surrounded by isolation instead of neighbours. I feel the most serene when silence is interrupted by cicadas and not sirens. I feel the safest when a night sky is lit by stars not streetlamps. I’ve always lived far from the city fringe. Country life has a way of slipping into your psyche and holding you close so you never want to leave.

They deal with specifics - like how many hours a day a child should watch television, or at what age can kids watch certain shows, or what are the best and worst shows, and why. So the authors assert that television is both as bad as we thought it could be - but it is better than most would think. Guess what? There are more televisions than toilets in the United States, and young kids watch an average of three hours per day - and some up to 16 hours in a row.

Odd john by olaf stapledon7/7/2023 Now, if we take the superhero idea seriously for even ten seconds, why ever should this godlike creature think that his top priority is to rescue beings who are, to him, about as significant as mice are to us? I mean, even though your average human could probably save a whole lot of mice if he put his mind to it, you find that that's an unusual career choice. Most superhero scenarios, starting with Superman, take it for granted that the guy will spend most of his time acting as a kind of elite first responder service, cleaning up or preventing the more challenging train crashes, armed robberies, earthquakes and so on. It has always surprised me that this book isn't better known. Not your run-of-the-mill superhero story, which may have had something to do with the fact that Stapledon wasn't a typical person to be writing a superhero story in the first place he was a Professor of Philosophy, and apparently a friend of both Virginia Woolf and Winston Churchill. |
