<p>The Colorado examines nine episodes in the history of human interaction with the Colorado River, from early prehistoric cultures to the Spanish explorations of the lower reaches of the river, the dam building frenzy of the early and middle 20th century, industrial agriculture and the current use of water throughout the region. This beautiful book combines current information, maps, and policy discussion in a stunning format that highlights the beauty and the grandeur of the river and its story. Although this is a companion volume to the film of the same name, the book stands alone and provides important history and context to one of the country's most important and most endangered watersheds. This is an important book for all those who know and love the Colorado River, or who would like to learn more about this extraordinary region.</p>
