Review Quotes

An overview of riverine features and wildlife in general enhances introductions to specific rivers on every continent--even Antarctica. . . . The author also expands his topic, acknowledging efforts to clean up the polluted Ganges and tallying the environmental advantages and disadvantages of dams.
--Kirkus Reviews

Lovely digital artwork in a painterly style. . . . A fascinating survey that's far from mainstream.
