Articles Related to the Control of Mother Nature?
Happppppyyy asked:
Hello I’m looking for articles, in magazines, newspapers, online databases, etc., that deal with the struggle to control nature throughout the world. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Ok…now can you find any articles that can display that opinion?
Trust me, I have tried, I am looking along the lines of Natural Disasters and how humans try to combat them (floods, debris flows, etc.)
Actually that is very funny because that is the book I had to read for school, and the articles I need are related to McPhee’s theme of “Can we control nature?”

We cannot control the weather, as we have no power over it!
This is just another cycle in the system, we cannot do anything to stop or prevent it as much as we try its a no win situation!!!!!!!!

The best book I’ve ever read on the subject is:
“The Control of Nature” by John McPhee.
(pub: Farrar, Straus and Giroux. NY)
It’s absolutely riveting.
A “bestselling account of places in the world where people have been engaged in all-out battles with nature” It “details strategies and tactics”. Order it, you’ll love it.
