Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Paperback Edition. First Paperback Edition and Printing. A VERY GOOD, bright, clean, tight copy sans rips/tears, stains, markings, and discoloration. ILLUSTRATED with 8 black-and-white maps. From the author's Preface: "This book culminates an odyssey that began more than two decades ago. In my 1972 documentary film and book, 'Canada's Water: For Sale?,' I examined the issue of water export from Canada to the United States. Several more films dealing with water, energy and the environment followed, and while making them I explored many of the great rivers of North America, from the MacKenzie to the Mississippi, from the St. Lawrence to the Colorado, from the Churchill to the Old-man.".and, further on,."It seemed time for a new book that would celebrate the natural history of the Fraser and portray the extraordinary human drama along its spectacular journey from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Although the basin is currently dominated by rapid exploitation of resources and extreme rates of population and economic growth, a new book could explore values that offer hope for a sustainable future, 'Mighty River' is my attempt to fulfill this need."
