Rezensionen

"Chasing Lakes moves the reader simultaneously through two realms of time. First realm is the span of an aggressive intentional scientific life: the life of Katey Walter Anthony. The second is the old-as-the-Earth epoch of methane seeps from Arctic lakes." - Leonardo DiCaprio

"Katey Walter Anthony offers readers a vivid and moving meditation on faith, family, and what it takes to become a scientist. Rich in detail on the scientific discovery process, Chasing Lakes truly fosters a deeper appreciation for the intricate steps necessary to study climate change. I'll forever look at lakes in a new light." - Cassandra L. Quave, scientist and author of The Plant Hunter

"Walter Anthony's work has brought to our consciousness a dire threat - carbon stored in frozen ground beneath much of the north...[while] the book is also a reflection on the challenges and rewards of choosing to marry and become a parent." - Anchorage Daily News
