"Through insightful narrative and stunning
photographs, Annette McGivney and James Kay
introduce us to an ecological miracle that is
occurring in the American Southwest: the
reemergence of Glen Canyon. After
construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, the
mighty Colorado River was drowned, forever
disturbing the region's fragile ecology of native
plants and animals. McGivney and Kay point to
the larger issue at play in the region-evidence
that drought and climate change are leading to
a showdown over water distribution. This is yet
another example that the next major resource
war will be fought over water. It's a problem
that our entire planet faces-and requires our
immediate attention."
Robert Redford, actor, director,
conservationist, and trustee of the Natural
Resources Defense Council
