Trade Review
"A defining piece of history.... What Mike Royko's Boss did for Chicago politics, Greenberg's book does for the region's natural history." - Dale Bowman, Chicago Sun-Times "We may not regain the awe of the French explorers, but if nothing else, Greenberg's book will induce some renewed respect for a rich, obstinate, parallel universe. And that call for esteem, or at least tolerance, makes the book a little revolution in itself, as beautifully stubborn as the lakeside daisy, the scraps of prairie grass and the wildflowers sprouting, against all odds, beside the railway tracks." - Raphael Kadushin, Chicago Tribune"
