Alison Wallace
Biology
Manning, Richard. Grassland: The History, Biology, Politics, and Promise of the American Prairie. New York: Viking, 1995.
Dr. Wallace chose this book because:
“Richard Manning brings the nearly extinct prairie ecosystem to life by stepping into the shoes of ranchers, biologists, historians, and visionaries to get a sense of the future of our agricultural lands that feed us physically and spiritually. Even though I am an ecologist, my eyes were opened even further to the incredible connection humans have with the land through this personal and accessible account.”
