Mutel Continues Iowa Book Tour
Iowans who have yet to meet Connie Mutel, editor of the recently released A Watershed Year: Anatomy of the Iowa Floods of 2008, still have the chance. The Historian, archivist and ecological writer has taken to the road to discuss how Iowans can prepare to confront environmental adversity.
Mutel said she is pleased with the public’s positive reception of the book thus far, and she appreciates CGRER’s role in its production.
“CGRER’s main goal is to try to work with environmental problems, through education and research, so that Iowans have a better future. This book addresses those efforts,” she said.
