Status Updates From Under a White Sky: The Natu...

Really interesting stuff so far. She’s mainly been discussing the relationship between the Mississippi River, the Army Corps of Engineers and New Orleans. Very interesting to hear the scientific side vs the humanitarian side. Does man control the river or does the river control man?

I really do like her prose!

I’m really excited to start this book. I love Kolbert’s style and this is a topic that really interests me

“Like all glaciers, the Greenland ice sheet is made up entirely of accumulated snow.” “. About a hundred and forty feet down, there’s snow dating from the American Civil War; some twenty-five hundred feet down, snow from the time of Plato; and at a depth of five thousand three hundred and fifty feet, snow from when prehistoric painters were decorating the caves at Lascaux.” That’s insane .

Damn this book is good
