Turning the Tide presents a comprehensive look at two decades of efforts to save the bay, outlining which methods have worked and which have not.

Turning The Tide -- Saving the Chesapeake Bay by Tom Horton,
By Dan (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Turning the Tide: Saving the Chesapeake Bay (Paperback)
Overall, the book was enjoyable to read, it really informed me of the problems the Chesapeake Bay faces each and everyday. I felt that the author used charts, graphs, and examples in a way that helps the reader fully understand the science that he/she is reading. I recommend this book to all of those readers who are affected by the Chesapeake Bay or who just wants to learn more about the environment in general.
