Excellent color photographs in this large format book

From the cover description: The Arkansas River begins in the melting snows of the Mosquito Range, near Leadville, CO. Before it reaches the Mississippi in southeast Arkansas, it passes from mountains through plains, prairies, hardwood forests, cities, and cypress swamps. The 151 color photos illuminate the authors journey down the river's course. The informative and provocative text is replete with both poetic style and ecological awareness. Environmentalists, outdoor recreationists, or anyone who has ever lived beside or loved a great river will enjoy this passionate tale of the Arkansas.
