- Description:
- "Tripp's book is a true confluence of art and science, politics and pragmatism, ideas and plans for action. It highlights the ways in which rivers connect us alll to one another. While we have made great progress as a society in local terms of environmental improvement, such as cleaner water, we're still dodging the big issues, such as global warming. And it's getting worse We have lost the vision of our planet that we gaine in 1969 by standing on the moon. Projects such as the restoration of the atlantic salmon are politicized to become a red herring that divides us...The time is right for someone to remind us, clearly, meaningfully, about the things that matter most. And Nathaniel Tripp, with his slim book Confluence, does just that in a big way."
