Reviews

Canadian professor Glynnis Hood's fantastic new book, The Beaver Manifesto just arrived in the mail today. I started reading the small volume immediately, and found both the writing and the message most engrossing.--Rhonda Winter, EcoLocalizer-- (01/03/2012)

Every once in awhile, a writer comes upon a book she wishes she had written. For me, this is The Beaver Manifesto, by Glynnis Hood.... Hood's writing is light and accessible. She covers all the beaver bases. Her book is small, compact, and easy to read.-- The Readers Review-- (10/12/2011)
