Description:
Reflections in Bullough's Pond is a fascinating and eye opening chronicle of New England from pre-European settlement to present times. Author Diana Muir uses the history of the pond in her backyard to individualize the story she tells. It's a powerful device that makes her arguments concerning regional and global issues real and personal. Personal to the reader because the history Muir recounts is more than the typical description of events; it's a convincing argument concerning the interplay of economics, societal mores, and regional ecology. In bringing the three topics together, Muir makes a unique and valuable contribution.
