ISBN: 9780814334256 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There is no river quite like Detroit's Rouge River.

Recovering a Lost River: Removing Dams, Rewilding Salmon, Revitalizing Communities
ISBN: 9780807004739 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Pacific Northwest, the Snake River and its wilderness tributaries were as recently as a half century ago some of the world s greatest salmon rivers. Now, due to four federal dams, the salmon population has dropped close to extinction. Steven Hawley, journalist and self-proclaimed river rat, argues that the best hope for the Snake River lies in dam removal, a solution that pits the power companies and federal authorities against a collection of Indian tribes, farmers, fishermen, and river recreationists. The river s health, as he demonstrates, is closely connected to local economies,...
