Recenzii
"Will be of great interest . . . Waldmans lively anecdotal text is well documented by citations to old maps, documents, and historic photographs. Library Journal (on the first edition)"New York Harbors vast network of moving or placid, fresh, brackish, and saltwater still holds a startling variety of marine life whose past, present, and future Waldman surveys in this exemplary and compact work of popular ecology. Publishers Weekly (on the first edition)"Heartbeats in the Muck gives the reader a sense of lost New York, of the incredibly rich and biologically diverse ecosystem that once was the lower Hudson River estuary. A great book on an very important subject. Ted Steinberg, Case Western Reserve University
