'The Fight for Freshwater: A Memoir' - Mike Joy (Book Trailer)

A leading freshwater ecologist, Mike Joy is a powerful advocate for the conservation of our waterways. In this memoir, he offers a rare first-hand look at the life of a scientist whose research led him to activism. Vividly describing the environmental damage he has witnessed in New Zealand’s rivers, lakes and streams, he writes also about the political challenges he has met along the way. At a perilous time for our universities, his story is an inspirational account of staying true to academia’s function as ‘critic and conscience’ of society.
'The Fight for Freshwater: A Memoir' is introduced in this book trailer by author Mike Joy.
