Control of nature / 
John McPhee 
 - New York :  Farrar, Straus and Giroux,  1990. 
 - 272p. :  ill. ;  21cm. 
<br/><br/>  	<br/>McPhee details the strategies and tactics through which people attempt to control nature. Most striking in his vivid depiction of the main contestants: nature in complex and awesome guises, and those who would attempt to wrest control from her--stubborn, often ingenious, and always arresting characters.
