This book was well-written, but it wasn't quite what I had hoped it would be. While I was looking for more information about the idea of the Great Plains restoration, this book focused on the controversy the idea generated, which I suppose is right there in the title, but hey, wishful thinking. Matthews doesn't neglect this entirely, she just spends much more time documenting the reaction of the people who live in the Plains to an idea of which I didn't feel I ever got a full measure.
