Description:A celebration of California s wild rivers The classic images of California are those of sunny beaches, redwoods, and the Sierra Nevada. Yet California is also a land of rivers about ninety of them with thousands of forks, branches, and creeks. Totaling 194,000 miles, they cover more area than those of any other state but Alaska. With 176 exquisite photographs and original prose, Palmer showcases the variety, vitality, and majesty of streams large and small through all four seasons, from rainforest to desert, from high country source to the Pacific. He visits rivers in drought as well as in flood conditions.
