The Ravaging Tide,
by Mike Tidwell
I first encountered Mike Tidwell in The
New Yorker magazine with a piece that became his first book Bayou Farewell
which described in horrifying detail the destruction of the Louisiana coast.
That destruction along with the unconscionable neglect of the levees set the
stage for Katrina. But Louisiana is not the only coastal area under the threat
of rising seas and gigantic hurricanes. Much of Manhattan is just land fill.
Mike's book is a wake up call for all of us to change the energy choices that
we have made over the decades.
