"This river is very different than the river my father showed me 40 years ago..."
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

One of the world's mightiest rivers no longer reaches the sea: Every drop of its water is allocated to farmers, ranchers, cities. No flow remains for its delta, once a thriving estuary that supported the most diverse biosphere in North America. The Colorado River, which carved the Grand Canyon over millions of year, is a river at risk.

Set against the majestic backdrop of one of the world's natural wonders, Grand Canyon: River at Risk is a marvelous photographic journey along the Colorado River. Join author-adventurer Wade Davis (The Lost Amazon) as he travels down the river with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., discussing the history of the canyon, its ecology, and the coming world water crisis.

Based on the IMAX® Theatre film Grand Canyon Adventure from MacGillivray Freeman Films, now showing nationally, the book will open your eyes to one of the wonders of the world, and an environmental crisis in our own back yard. More about the book...
