Book Worm

I'd like to bring your attention to a new widet addition on my blog: LibraryThing.  I love this website.  I have added several of my favorite history and science texts to "My LibraryThing" and plan to add more.  I will link My LibraryThing to the books I highlight in my series "In the Book-Light."  You are invited to look over the library posted to the right and begin or join in any discussions about anything you find of interest.

Public Power, Private Dams

IN THE BOOK-LIGHT:

As a graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in Environmental History, I had the opportunity to read some really amazing texts that challenged me in many ways.  For my love of reading and in respect to the educators to introduced them to me, I would like to begin a blog series where an important or personally influencial book can be put in the spotlight, or in this case, IN THE BOOK LIGHT.

Here is my own review of "Public Power, Private Dams," as it appeared H-net Reviews: in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
