River Bend Book Club "The Control of Nature"

The book club's next book is "The Control of Nature" by John McPhee.

About the book: "The Control of Nature is John McPhee's
bestselling account of places where people are locked in combat with nature. Taking us deep into these contested territories, McPhee details the strageties and tactics through which people attempt to control nature. Most striking is his depiction of the main contestants: nature in complex and awesome guises, and those attempting to wrest control from her - stubborn, sometimes foolhardy, more often ingenious, and always arresting characters."
