by Cornelia Mutel
Cornelia “Connie” Mutel is well known to Iowa naturalists for two earlier books: Fragile Giants: A Natural History of the Loess Hills, and The Emerald Horizon: The History of Nature in Iowa. But Mutel’s latest effort – A Sugar Creek Chronicle: Observing Climate Change from a Midwestern Woodland – goes beyond a straightforward interpretation of natural history. Instead, she uses life experiences, and personal observations from her woodland home, to gently educate us on the enormity and urgency of the impacts of climate change. As senior science writer at IIHR-Hydroscience & Engineering at the University of Iowa College of Engineering, Mutel is well qualified to tell this important story. A Sugar Creek Chronicle: Observing Climate Change from a Midwestern Woodland is published by the University of Iowa Press.
