“It's a wonder that a book this fun can be so thoughtful, so deeply felt at times.” —The New York Times “. . . a hybrid of cultural historian and indefatigable roving reporter, who can't help taking quirky pleasure sometimes in what ought to be an utterly grim story.” —Newsweek “Strand's book is a kick, illuminating and inflected with her wry voice. ” —Fresh Air “Ginger Strand is in possession of a sharp eye, a biting wit, a beguiling sense of fun -- and a magnificent obsession. ” —Bloomberg “. . . at once complex and accessible. ” —The Washington Post “Strand dives headlong into what could have been treacherous waters for a lesser writer, melding a compelling narrative of ravaged nature, unchecked industry and government deceit with Niagara kitsch.” —The Buffalo News “Ms. Strand . . . never loses her sense of humor.” —The Wall Street Journal “Strand is in the vanguard of new generation of writers about nature and the environment who are discontented with reverie and marvel, wary of nostalgia and prelapsarian pastorals, aware of that all-too-human striving to overcome nature that is itself a force of nature.” —Barnes and Noble Review “Inventing Niagara might not be endorsed by the Niagara Falls tourist industry, but it ought to be indispensable for anyone considering a summer trip to the area.” —Columbus Dispatch “Strand's provocative and iconoclastic book says much about how America has dominated nature, despoiled it and shrouded the offense in myth.” —Publishers Weekly ORDER THE BOOK Powell's | Booksense Border's/Amazon | Barnes & Noble |
