Summary

"Due to extreme drought and chronic overuse, the Colorado River and all those who depend on its waters are in peril. During a pivotal moment in the river's lifespan, acclaimed author Wade Davis tells the story of America's Nile. Blending natural and cultural history, geology and conservation, his account reveals the side effects of our centuries-old quest for progress, and presents an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and foster the rebirth of one of the world's most important rivers."--, Provided by publisher
