À propos de l'auteur
As a boy, Dalton Mire learned of a way of life long gone as he walked through plowed fields picking up arrowheads and broken pottery with his father. He enjoyed the cool waters of Cayuga Lake after collecting fossils along its shores. Once after reading a book about Nessie of Loch Ness, he was sure he saw an ancient dinosaur disappear in a bank of fog hovering over the shimmering waves. Dalton Mire spent his adult life working around the world and was shocked when he returned to Cayuga shores to find this beautiful lake threatened by fracking. FRACKING DINOSAURS dramatizes the need to preserve this delicate ecosystem from the industries that threaten it.
