Over the past several years, extraordinary numbers of deformed frogs have been discovered, not only in the waters of Minnesota, but in lakes & ponds across the U.S., Canada, & as far away as Japan. The frog -- an animal that lives in ponds & on land, that breathes through its skin, that lays its clear, absorbent eggs in open, sunlit water -- is a indicator of environmental conditions. This book follows the mystery of the deformed frogs & the search for answers. Souder had access to all the key scientists, & has followed every aspect of the story, from back room discussions & conferences at the Federal government level to the secret hot spots where the highest percentage of deformed frogs are found.Souder, William is the author of 'Plague of Frogs : The Horrifying True Story', published 2002 under ISBN 9780756757540 and ISBN 0756757541.
