I am wondering if there are any *scholarly* critiques of the book _Cadillac Desert_ by Marc Reisner. While I believe that most of his "facts" are indeed *facts*, he takes the typical unscientific, journalistic practice of presenting numbers with no citations and quotes private conversations from a hundred years ago as if he were there himself! As much as I am enjoying the book, I'd like to see what the *scholars* think. Thanks! -- Greg Pasternack | Because each and every reality needs gpast@uclink.berkeley.edu | a regular tune up.
