.....you'll love this book. It is large in a school book fashion. I bought it for my husband who reads maps like books and loves topography/geography/geology. He really liked this tome. It centers on criteria/info on a large number of rivers and outlines the major basins with detailed descriptions of each river, life within and alteration to the flow and course. I was amazed at how many dams have been built - only 2-3 major rivers on this continent flow unimpeded. A few maps could have been clearer ( more contrasting color) but most all are great.....and many beautiful photos . My husband gave it a 5 star rating over all.

There is no book comparable to this, and it would be nearly impossible to put together much of this information from the Internet. The author has visited these rivers and knows what he is talking about. Very factually based book.

Yeah, this is THE BOOK to get if you're into river-specificity. It's got everything but the actual water spilling out of it. Worth the price many times over.
