Algal Bowl
«
'Impeccable empirical science, written with vigour and precision. Among its other charms, this is an excellent textbook... The Algal Bowl is a work of scientific poetry.'
The Literary Review of Canada'The Algal Bowl is by no means a page-turner. Nor was it intended to be. But it should be required reading for every politician, civil servant, farmer, fisherman, hunter, paddler and cottage owner who has any stake in the management of freshwater in western North America. Like the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, the Algal Bowl has the potential to disrupt ecosystems, displace human populations and cause tremendous economic hardship. Those who doubt that possibility need only look at several populous Third World countries where potable freshwater is now a thing of the past.'
