Editorial Reviews
Dennis Drabelle, Washington Post Book World
"Philip Fradkin's purpose in writing this fascinating book is to widen the debate over the use of the Colorado beyond the interbred specialists and politicians who have transformed the modern west into a Boom Belt with little regard for the finitude of water."
Wallace Stegner, The New Republic
"A River No More makes a statement of the utmost importance and gravity. Though it focuses on the Colorado River and its tributaries, the book's implications reach from the high plains of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico to the Pacific littoral; from federal land and water policies to the survival strategies of the ranches, farms, country towns, and small regional capitals that constitute the west's only permanent and renewable way of life."
