River Notes

"The Colorado River and Grand Canyon are a chronicle of time, revealing the origins of the planet in rock and stone, but also the whirlwind of fortunes that can transform our destiny in a single generation. Having traveled the river as both a scholar and white-water guide, Wade Davis tells a sweeping tale that leaves little doubt that the Colorado is the story of the American West. What becomes of the river today will determine the fate of no fewer than 40 million Americans."--
