A thoughtful presentation of the negative impacts of domesticated cows, "Cowed: The Hidden Impact of 93 Million Cows on America's Health, Economy, Politics, Culture and Environment" evokes fear, anger, awe and amazement. Next month, W.W. Norton & Co. is publishing the 377-page book by Denis Hayes and Gail Boyer Hayes.
Denis is president of the Bullitt Foundation, a nonprofit devoted to environmental health. He is also an ENR Top 25 Newsmaker for masterminding the Bullitt Center, the nation's first super-sustainable speculative office building (ENR 1/23 p. 28).
