Tom Rooney has co-edited and contributed a set of chapters to a book, The Vanishing Present, now available from University of Chicago Press. The volume synthesizes issues in the natural history of, and human influences on, the Wisconsin landscape. To quote Dave Foreman from the Amazon web site, “In conceiving and building this anthology, Waller and Rooney show that they are not just top-notch biologists, but rare visionaries, too. Every region of North America needs such a work, not only in scope but in quality.”
