Salt River Manifesto

Bret Moffett brings an environmentalist's vision an engineer's rigor and a historian's sensitivity to this geographic chronicle of the Salt River. He travels its length directs our attention to the hidden places and explains how Arizona harnessed its most essential central waterway to make a huge economic leap but at the cost of making a dead spot in its heart. If you want to know why the state looks the way that it does - lush in some lucky places dehydrated in others - read this book.-Tom ZoellnerAuthor of Rim to River: Looking into the Heart of ArizonaFor more information please visit www.saltrivermanifesto.com
