Crocker Snow Jr., a prize-winning journalist who specialized in international affairs, turned in retirement to natural lands, species and climate change impacts that he has witnessed at close hand his whole life. Specifically he has focused on the life, times and dynamic changes on uninhabited Muskeget Island, Nantucket’s second cousin, which has been in his family since he was first left there at nine years old.
Muskeget Island: Raw, Restless, Relentless
The new and revised edition of Muskeget Island: Raw, Restless, Relentless features, in down-to-earth (or sand) prose, dramatic sears, species change and spillover effects on the tiny, treeless island that the author has witnessed over more than 70 years. Muskeget’s story is the saga of climate change in a very fragile bottle.
