Storm over Mono by John Hart

Storm over Mono by John Hart

An environmental saga unfolds in this story of the fight to save Mono Lake. This ancient inland sea, in the eastern Sierra near Yosemite National Park, is among the oldest in North America, but its ecosystem has begun to collapse. The text is complemented by many photographs.

"Hart tells the story of the David-and-Goliath struggle to save the lake--and how it revolutionized California's water policies. . . Hart deftly threads through the legal thickets, politicking and environmental grandstanding while at the same time dispensing colorful geological and Old West lore. . . . [An] eloquent, handsomely illustrated book."--"San Francisco Chronicle Review
