Far from being the serene, natural streams
of yore, modem rivers have been diverted,
dammed, dumped in, and dried up, all in
efforts to harness their power for human
needs. But these rivers have also undergone
environmental change. The old adage says
you can t step into the same river twice, and
Ellen
Wohl
would agree
—
natural and syn¬
thetic change are so rapid on the world s
great waterways that rivers are transforming
and disappearing right before our eyes.
A World of Rivers explores the confluence
of human and environmental change on
ten of the great rivers of the world. Rang¬
ing from the Murray-Darling in Australia and
the Chang Jiang River in China to Central
Europe s Danube and the United States
Mississippi, the book journeys down the
most important rivers in all corners of the
globe.
Wohl
shows us how pollution, such
as in the Ganges and in the Ob of Siberia,
has affected biodiversity in the water. But
rivers are also resilient, and
Wohl
stresses
the importance of conservation and resto¬
ration to help reverse the effects of human
carelessness and hubris.
What all these diverse rivers share is a
critical role in shaping surrounding land¬
scapes and biological communities, and
Wohl s book ultimately makes a strong case
for the need to steward positive change in
the world s great rivers.
