I congratulate Tyler Kelley. He has written on the one hand a good and sometimes painful story-or stories-showing us at our most human, and on the other an insightful and important examination of our policy toward rivers. This is a fine book. -John M. Barry, author of Rising Tide and The Great Influenza
