Book DescriptionIn A Doubtful River, photographers Robert Dawson and Peter Goin and essayist Mary Webb explore the ways the river's multifarious users relate to the region's aridity and the precious waters of the Truckee Dawson's and Goin's eloquent photographs record unforgettable images of the Truckee River's course from the eastern slope обяел of the Sierra Nevada to desert-bound Pyramid Lake and the ways the river and the land beside it have been used and reshaped by human needs, greed, and carelessness Webb's essays offer a moving verbal counterpoint, focusing on the people who depend on and adjudicate the river's water The sum of the elements of this book is a memorable picture of the complexity of water allocation in a region where conflicting traditions about the uses of the land and its resources, a rapidly growing population, and limited supply make water the most precious commodity of all.  Книга является2003 г 176 стр ISBN 0874175690.
