Offers a vision for how the Southeast can manage its rivers and water supply as we confront a perfect storm of species extinction, climate-driven extreme weather events, and sea level rise.
Duncan pulls us in to his fold with an engaging first-person writing style, not an easy task with such a deep trove of scientific, political, cultural, and historical information."—James B. McClintock is the Endowed University Professor of Polar and Marine Biology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is author of A Naturalist Goes Fishing: Casting in Fragile Waters from the Gulf of Mexico to New Zealand’s South Island; Lost Antarctica: Adventures in a Disappearing Land; and The Diversity of Invertebrates: Gulf of Mexico edition.
"R. Scot Duncan’s Creeks to Coast: Restoring the Rivers at the Heart of America’s Freshwater Diversity is an excellent and original synthesis of the Southeast’s water marvels, problems, threats, and solutions. Duncan provides a personalized meta-meditation on the region’s rivers and coastlines in a rich context anchored in biological diversity and human history."—Chris Manganiello is water policy director for Chattahoochee Riverkeeper. He is author of Southern Water, Southern Power: How the Politics of Cheap Energy and Water Scarcity Shaped a Region, which won the American Society for Environmental History’s Rachel Carson Prize
