By Joseph Alexiou
I heard about this while attending the installation of Mucky's Return (a sculpture of dolphin that was found in the canal). The author gave an interesting speech about Mucky and other unfortunate marine mammals who were found stranded in the polluted waters of the canal. The book is not about them (a point of disappointment to me). It is about the history of the place that now includes the canal, from the days of the American Revolution to current times. It is interesting, but perhaps a bit too detailed for me, whereby the bigger story kind of got lost. It reads like a research paper, but a very long one. [non-fiction, 398 pp.]
