A World of Rivers: Environmental Change on Ten of the World's Great Rivers

Far from being the serene, natural streams of yore, modern rivers have been diverted, dammed, dumped in, and dried up, all in efforts to harness their power for human needs. But these rivers have also undergone environmental change. This title explores the confluence of human and environmental change on ten of the great rivers of the world.
