Review of 'The worst hard time' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan uses compelling storytelling and primary sources to tell the tale of how market incentives and ecological ignorance caused millions of tons of top soil to escape skyward and rain down in dust storms across the country. The similarities between the Dust Bowl and climate change are crushing. Egan's history of the Dust Bowl is worth your time.
