Tinnemaha Creek Nick Taddeo Foremost Press ISBN: 0-9748921-2-2 Fiction, Nature, Conservation Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Two twelve year old girls, Stephanie McClintock and Adriana Kramer, are out looking for wildflowers in the Eastern Sierras. Unbeknownst to them, someone is watching them. A lone cougar. Fortunately, the girls get away from the incident with nothing more than a good scare. The situation could have been so much worse. Nonetheless, the incident sparks off debate in the community about human safety versus wildlife protection.

Tinnemaha Creek does a really good job of illustrating both sides of the wild protection issue. Are we the intruders into their natural territory or the rightful heirs to all that we survey? Can we find a happy balance between keeping natural habitats and enjoying nature for our own purposes?
